Lemmy is a software our instances are running on. Here are some instances:
Lemmygrad is far left, communist instance, expressing pro US, against Russia and pro Ukraine position will swiftly get you banned
Lenny.ml (where you are registered) is under strong influence of lemmygrad. Happens mostly with a little help of an admin who supports lemmygrad. Although it has fair share of non communists who are slowly realising my previous sentence.
Wolfballs is right wing instance.
Almost any other instance is much less directed towards politics, but ideologically either centrist, leftist or apolitical at all.
What makes you suggest that an admin is the cause of the cross-influence? They're, by far, the two biggest federated instances, and both explicitly "leftist" (which, in their context, means socialist). Of course there will be many users coming across and influencing the posts.
Clearly pointing to this information will get me banned as it was the last time. So I'll just invite you to take note of this possibility and keep your eyes open.
