No you don’t understand, they didn’t say they weren’t on Lemmy, they are as you clearly noticed. So they do have access to all the political discourse they want when they want it.

They said that Lemmy is too politically dominated and that some communities only live on Reddit rn.

I kinda agree, I use Lemmy 99% of the time but when a new Poe league releases the poebuildsdiscussion has interesting information about the game, not having political discourse in that community is irrelevant since that’s now what’s about. I’d prefer if it was here but there clearly is no interest, as a transition was attempted with the API exodus and it failed.
