MODERATORS
I have heard some respectable communities, namely r/AskHistorians, express hesitance at coming to Lemmy in part over fears of appearing biased due to the overt political stance of Lemmy's creators. In other words, it's hard to be a neutral body in affiliation with anything that has an overt political stance.
I wonder what the devs of Lemmy think of this hesitance. Is it unreasonable and itself biased? Or do you see any potential for finding a way to facilitate a platform that would allow for a more neutral space?
Doesn't the federation part fix that? Couldn't they host their own server or be on a more neutral instance? or am I missing the point?
They could, if they cared to research that much, which many don't seem to want to do.
