The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

Lemmy.world is meant to be a general, politically neutral instance. It’s not unmoderated but it’s not using its moderation policy to silence opposition like Reddit or Lemmy.ml
I don’t think you can be mad at a site that explicitly tries to be for the mainstream for holding mainstream positions like being pro-Israel or pro-Capitalism
Theory rarely lives up to real world implementation
No such thing does or can exist on the scale of generality you’re discussingwho are you accommodating, what do you actually mean? Neutral to whom? Don’t say “everybody”; that would be a lie.
Opposition to what? You’re giving me glimpses of a position here, saying you have one, and denying you have one.
Okay that’s not “neutral” that’s “popular”. These are not remotely the same word. Please be more careful with your use of language in the future.
Which isn’t popular, it’s astroturfed. Not the same.
So, that hasn’t been genuinely popular in a while, we just cant agree what to do about it.
Neutral in its moderation policy. They don’t remove posts, communities, or comments based off of ideology. Conservative, liberal, and left wingers all post here.
Opposition as in silencing the opposition to the beliefs of the admin/moderation team. Such as lemmy.ml removing comments for being pro-capitalism or anti-CCP or Reddit shadow banning anti-ai, anti-spez, or anti-capitalism, or a number of other topics that end with people being shadow banned. Lemmy.world isn’t perfect in its moderation but when it does mess up, [email protected] is there to call them out.
Being pro-Israel is not that same as approving their actions in Gaza. Being pro-genocide is not popular but being pro-Israel is and has been for the last 60 years. It wasn’t until the war in Gaza that Israel had net negative favorability 1
Only on left-wing echo chambers is capitalism not popular. Yes people want reform and so capitalism doesn’t poll as well as it used to in favorability but Americans are still overwhelmingly for capitalism 2
Maybe things are different in Europe, I can’t say. I don’t live there.
Not trying to be a nerd, citing sources and saying “uhm actually” I just very much enjoy, Lemmy, Lemmy.world, and the posters of Lemmy.ml, I just don’t care for Reddit or the admins of .ml, grad, or hexbear.
You couldn’t find anything from the heritage foundation?
Putting aside how you’ve abandoned any pretense of neutrality:
Something like 75% of people globally disapprove of the protocols if the elders of zion LARP group.
Im sorry but you cannot be “neutral” between so many positions, and even wanting to be is fucked up. Do you at least punch non-zionist nazis who show up?
If you say the word capitalism and people think it means trade, you’ll get more positive than a description ‘do you think it’s better to give out rewards in society based on labor, or on ownership?’.
Is it a global instance, or not?
You come off as really disingenuous. Scarily so when i take a closer look. Any chance you’ll tell me what your deal is? Im curious. Dm’s is fine; i won’t repeat it here, and im willing to continue arguing as if you hadn’t on request.
This analysis of lemmy.world is in direct contradiction of people’s experiences as documented over the last year.
Regime talking points get promoted and any criticism is suppressed.
