I joined Lemmy first because it was the first instance I discovered. I heard some folks on reddit say it was "filled with tankies" and I was like "Damn, sounds like a pretty cool place then!". I have noticed the reddit libs start to come in, but the dev/admin seems intent on not letting it devolve into a den of shitlibs like reddit is. Let's hope they stick to that. I'm not opposed to co-existing with liberals, because it's fun to dunk on them and I'm not really interested in being part of an echo-chamber, but PLEASE don't let them completely take over like they did with reddit. Thankfully most of the shitlibs seem to be contained in beehaw or kbin, for now.
