    LW is still a third of the whole userbase, SJW is in the top 5 instances, for an alternative community to emerge it needs to be accessible from LW and SJW.

    Maybe there should be a new “uspolitics” community elsewhere

      Yeah, makes sense, I was just talking from my own experience which ones I found to be tolerable to interact with.

      I think when I started looking around for an alternative to Beehaw’s politics community the best I arrived at was actually !politics_no_um@lemmy.world. I talked with the Quokk.au people about the idea of making one of my own as an alternative… I do have some ideas about how to make a decent politics community. I have hesitated about the idea just because there are already so many, but finding a good one is actually difficult, I do think creating one that’s just good would be a good idea.
