I totally agree. We can have whatever political direction that we choose, nevertheless in practice it seems the majority of Lemmy is liberal & progressive & leftist. There is obviously nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is downvoting & upvoting along these political lines and disregarding how well is each idea formulated. It does happen too often in my opinion.
I meant liberalism as progressivism and leftism, not economic liberalism nor libertarianism. What I mind is that herd behaviour of many fellows who downvote stuff even if it’s a plausible idea, and vice versa.
