Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Hi! In thinking about how to help the fediverse grow, I wonder if there are more mainstream Lemmy instances?

I've pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it's uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said "I just got yelled at because I can't be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.") We're much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre...

I don't know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I'd like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.

Thanks!

a fair number of the people who are on this platform are here specifically because oligarch-owned media sites heavily censor all left wing speech, and have done so for many years.

I got banned from every platform, and my account on lemmy.world was also banned.

Capitalist owned platforms support fascists and ban anti capitalists, anti fascists, anti imperialists. We’re a threat to power and profit. Look at all the capitalists lining up to suck trumps mushroom cock right now. They’ll do whatever it takes to make a buck, whores are more honest than them.

Gee, from your comments on this post I could never imagine how that could happen.

If everywhere you go people smell like shit, maybe you should check your shoes.

I'd strongly suggest that the issue isn't your beliefs, but that you're about as abrasive as kissing the pavement at 75mph.

Typical liberal tone policing while lives are at stake.

More seriously, lives are not at stake in this particular comment section.

Edit: and I never told you to stop, just that it's abrasive as shit and likely why you're being banned so damn much. Do with it what you will. I'm not your parents, the police, or your boss.
