I think a lot of the other posts covered my thoughts on the issue but I wanted to add something less about politics and more about lemmy itself:
There is no one Lemmy, it's a bunch of federated instances. You made this post on the beehaw instance. Some instances will have their own personality and rules, but if you don't like them, the beauty of the lemmy and the fediverse is that you can just create another instance. I haven't done a ton of searching yet, but I imagine that conservatives and right-wing personalities will carve out their own corner eventually.
I'm still learning about fediverse so I was a little ignorant when I wrote that part. There will still be a general community and a large chunk of Lemmy will choose 1 side. Whether that be left or right is what we will see in the future. It's pretty much certain a large chunk of Lemmy will lean 1 way or the other. Same as other websites, federated or not.
