Because Lemmy is a federated service, you can run your own instance to cater to your specific political alignment.

However, other instances can choose to block content from your instance from showing up on theirs. Likewise, you can ask to 'link' your instance to others with similar ideas/rules and share posts between both.

As a result, the only thing stopping someone with particularly niche political views from spinning up their own instance is the potential lack of other interested users.
