No evangelism of any kind--rather dirtbag leftism. Chapo Trap House is defined on Wikipedia. They've been around for a while. They've got podcasts. They write books. They're smart, well-informed, and take no prisoners. They're also comradely toward honest, curious newcomers. If one were, say, proudly liberal and sure in their understanding of history and politics, it probably wouldn't be a good fit.
Honestly I don’t think I want to join that server but I’m glad I don’t have to. They’re far too political out of the gate I just want a piracy focused community that unredacts that part of the internet
Idk why people keep joining that bullshit instead of spreading out.
Probably because they don't understand how federation works. People are used to signing up for centralised services, so when they come to Lemmy because of a reddit post where someone said "I just signed up at lemmy.world, it's great" and then they install an app and lemmy.world is the first instance listed, they just blindly assume that is the official/main instance that they should start with.
