Most lemmy instances are overwhelmingly leftist. If you’re a leftist, democrats and republicans are to the right of you. So, it’s less “both sides” and more “these two things are on the same side, which is to the right of me.”
You are free to feel about that perspective however you like, but I personally (and I’d imagine there are others who feel the same) find the idea that you can’t criticize a major political block if you also criticize its opposition to be itself misguided and dangerous.
In what way is it misguided? Why are you on an anticapitalist platform instead of the Capitalist one, Reddit, if you don’t agree with leftist structures?
Surely the thought occurred to you that Reddit went to shit because it’s a Capitalist structure, and the things that protect Lemmy from that are the rejections of Capitalism?

That makes a lot of sense. It’s deeply misguided and dangerous, but it makes sense.
