Do you think the fediverse has become a save space for radicals? (lemmy.ml)

The alt social media are a good place to run away from algorithms and explicit mass manipulation from other big tech, be more free, independent, and spread ideas, but I also think that the fediverse is being filling with people with radical political ideologies, some kicked out of traditional social platforms for this same reason. I'm not saying that we can't have discussions, but I think that many people are making their own echo Chambers in the fediverse.

yes, "free/libre" software usually attracts nazis, especially gpl licenses. that's why lemmy should start using an ethical open source license and get serious about getting rid of right-wingers

Not really. GPL is a left wing license. It literally enforces cooperation, and collaboration, which're communal values, rather than individualism.

the gpl was created by richard stallman, a well known nazi, because of that it tends to attract like-minded people
