Not sure if this is allowed, and if it's not, can someone direct me to where it is- but.... what is considered to be the most unbiased lemmy instance?

Where there’s no “agenda” or biased mods/admins. I’d love a good community where if there’s issues, it’s handled fairly and with respect to both sides of the argument.
I don’t care how big or small it is. I’m willing to help it grow if need be, but I’d like to find somewhere that isn’t so obvious with its bias.
You're viewing a single thread.
Make your own instance. There'll still be bias but at least it'll be your own.
I don’t like bias. And try not to have one of my own.
That's a very biased view of your own opinion
That’s a pretty fair point. Gotta admit.
Everyone is biased and that's ok. It's better to know your own biases then pretend they aren't there and be affected by them anyway.
I only really bias towards empirical truth and evidence. Along with accepting that life provides a shit ton of nuance and not wavering is it should be as polarized as people make it out to be.
This goes for pretty much everything.
Empirical truth can only go so far. I say this as an engineer. We only have so much evidence of anything. And the first thing they started teaching in my engineering classes was how to handle unknowns. Because they are what is dealt with every day.
You're right, nuance is everywhere and life is complicated. But asserting your only bias is toward truth is probably the biggest lie you tell yourself. I get it, I'm a big fan of capital T Truth as well and in certain fields, like science and (good) journalism, being perfectly unbiased is held as the gold standard (it's an impossible one). And being honest with yourself is hard. But disbelieving your own biases is a great way for them to take over your life and you'll never know.
I apologize for being harsh. Text is a blunt medium. I would just encourage you to really look at your day to day interactions and try to spot when you're being judgemental. And you'll miss most of it, that shit runs on autopilot and it takes practice to notice. And most importantly, don't think that having biases is inherently bad. It's human.
