Political Compass Memes only
All posts must relate to the Political Compass. Meta Content and Quality OC relating to the community is allowed.
Not everything with 4 colored squares is a PCM. So called “Get out of my head” posts are not allowed.
Orange by itself isn't part of the Political Compass and must be accompanied by another quadrant.

Low effort content

Misinformation

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
| Far Left | Centre Left | Centre Right | Far Right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemmygrad | Exploding Heads | ||
| Hexbear | Lemmy.ml | Lemmy.world | |
| Beehaw | Pricefield Lemmy | Based Count | sh.itjust.works |
| Blåhaj Lemmy | Divisions by zero | Lemmy NSFW | Hack Liberty |
The "sh.itjust.works" thing makes me terrified I just joined literally another Reddit. Was hoping for a politically open or even centrist place to hang out. :/
Nah don't worry. sh.itjust.works is one of the more politically mild instances out there, perhaps only beaten by lemm.ee. Plus they host some very funny communities and very few blocked instances. Among the big players, it's one of the best picks for a home instance.
"Free speech"

Oh shit pcm is here? Been waiting for you losers, based and took ya long enough pilled!
Heads up BTW lemmy.world didn't defederate us last I checked, they blocked our piracy community (still lame) but I think I can still interact with lemmy.world, their users just can't see !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com posts.
Also, not sure we're as libleft as we seem. They asked "favorite anarchists" and the farthest left my list got was "SEKIII," also had RAW, Lysander, and Murray in there, and they let me in, so it can't be tooooo left, I think we're technically monke.
Based and welcome pilled. Actually we've been around for over almost two months now. The instance isn't as old because at one point during our first two weeks I fucked up and accidentally deleted the database. Ooopsie.

Well my bad on that one, then. I was sure I had read the word "defed" somewhere, but seeing as neither of those is my instance I didn't care enough to verify.
I don't doubt you guys are libs, I just wasn't sure whether to put you on the left or right side. Personally I classify anarchism as more of a left thing than a right one, so that's where it came from.
I saw this meme, checked out the instance and saw PCM and immediately migrated. I'm home.
Based and welcome home pilled. I'm unironically honoured to read this.
Welcome home my child.
This is surprisingly accurate and helpful. I miss at least one /kbin instance though.
Yeah sorry, these are the ones I've heard the most about / visit more often. I don't really know much about kbin at all. I think their shitty software makes them pretty much immune from fediverse drama, as you have no (easy) way of knowing which instances were defederated by a kbin one.
This is actually really useful to get my bearings.
Keep in mind it's just some dude's opinion. Don't make the mistake of assuming I know what I'm talking about.
