That's been my approach as well. I also find it's nice be able to post to lemmy.ml from Lemmygrad and not have all the libs from paces like beehaw descend to downvote. So it's sort of a feature when you think about it. :)
Wait this is actually hilarious. If Lemmy gets really big and all the liberal instances de-federate from us we can convert more people to marxism and they'll have no clue what's happening. They're basically doing the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" thing that kids do.
It didn't used to be so liberal though right? It seems to me with the flood of people from reddit it flipped overnight into almost the exact same liberal groupthink as reddit had.
