When you simplify ideology too much, you ceate more confusion, like elsewhere in the thread when you categorize Marxist means as auth left and ends as lib left, despite Marxism being consistent in means and ends. There are far more issues with it than it solves.

Bluesky is very liberal.

The ones that keep making new nicks are still here, lol. At least, some of them.

Ah, gotcha. Still, the bulk came with Reddit I think, right?

On the contrary, it makes little sense at all. Ideologies can’t be put on a compass like that.

The Political Compass is generally a terrible way to view politics, I wouldn’t put any stock in it.

It isn’t a purity test, anticapitalism starts at some form of Socislism.

Liberals support capitalism, ergo they are on the right.

Lemmy has always had the Communists and Anarchists, from what I understand. Liberals largely came during the Reddit fiascos. Overall, I’d say instances are becoming more homogenous, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing necessarily. I’d rather have more leftists and fewer liberals seeing liberals convert to leftists, IMO.
