Do you think the fediverse has become a save space for radicals? (lemmy.ml)

The alt social media are a good place to run away from algorithms and explicit mass manipulation from other big tech, be more free, independent, and spread ideas, but I also think that the fediverse is being filling with people with radical political ideologies, some kicked out of traditional social platforms for this same reason. I'm not saying that we can't have discussions, but I think that many people are making their own echo Chambers in the fediverse.

Yes but it is because here is a safe space where you can share your ideas no matter what they are

No, no you can't. That suggests there's no policies dictating what's acceptable or not on the platform, which there definitely are.

One of the cool things about the fedi is that if you do not like the COC or the Privacy Policy of some instance, you can always try to find another or just host your own one. :)

Were you downvoted? That seems odd, since you're absolutely correct.
