Yes Lemmy is primarily used by people to the left of Bernie Sanders

Don’t give me hope like that.

I’m more optimistic than the average Lemmy user, but that’s too much.

It’s not that Mario Kart is worth 90, it’s that a lot of these AAA games aren’t worth 60.

ITT: Nerds that want mass Linux adoption but don’t want to deal with people who don’t share their interests and opinions

You are, some people aren’t.

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

I just think the nature of how Lemmy came about and who created it means that it’s mostly used by very serious people worried about the state of the world.

It’s one of the reasons I still use Reddit honestly. Lemmy is good for politics, FOSS, and Star Trek.

Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)

No.

There’s definitely a relationship between the marginalization of dark skinned people (men and women) and the view of dark skinned people as more masculine (therefore more dangerous.)

I really don’t think the average Lemmy user has TikTok.
