They probably thought lemmy was to reddit what truth/gab was to twitter (pre-elon twitter that is), or if you're memory is long enough, voat to reddit.

Helping people get off of corporate social media is significantly more important to me than maintaining Lemmy's political identity.
Hopefully the fediverse can serve as a deradicalizing force for these reactionary newcomers. However it is interesting that they would want to use federated social media over corporate social media, given their worldview idolizing the market and meritocracy.
They get the hint that they need to turn off displaying vote scores?
How fucking hard would it be to spin up a Lemmy instance, you know? Conservatives too fucking stupid to buy hosting and run an install package lol
You still need computer knowledge to do that
From my experience, people with computer knowledge are usually more progressive
Calling someone dumb because they cant do what is easy for you to do is dumb
That's true until you hit advanced IT like Networking, Cyber Security and Systems careers. I'm progressive but most of the older dudes I work with are Def far right Trump supporters. We get paid significantly more as well so you know how money and conservatism goes.

iirc there used to be a far right instance on Lemmy displaying Nazi imagery and shit, but they got defederated by almost everyone else and they're either banned in Germany now or the instance is dead

The funny thing is how … not even far… rather how crazy IMHO it seem to have gone.
I like reading conservative stuff; I like being challenged in my opinions and thinking…
But browsing through r/conservative was an effing joke - all woo and no substance
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of them have this sort of humiliation fetish so you can sometimes just bully them into the less shit opinion if you degrade them enough.
