Did you try making a list for checking your lists?

I agree, though you’d need to make sure it isn’t something that a human could notice and mistake as a PR convention for your repo, and then mimic

My experience on Lemmy has been that most users have a generally negative view of MLs , but 90% of the rants, memes, etc bashing another (non-maga) political side are MLs bashing “leftists” as opposed to the other way around.

I suspect that this actually doesn’t have to do with political association at all, but rather that so many people in general would rather just pick another faction to bash rather than challenging the actual powers, since that’s much easier.
