If by "diverse" you mean "has western conservatives", then considering how the entire concept of the fediverse is progressive, you're not going to find many of them here. On Reddit, there's r/AskPolitics which overall leans liberal and is US centric but is more open to discussion than other subreddits. There's some other debate subreddits as well which you might be interested in. They're helpful for developing political views, but after that hearing the same BS from people who have fundamentally different values gets tiring and people leave so that's why there aren't many of those spaces.

If you're open to other viewpoints that are opposed to both Republican and Democrat, leftist instances like lemmy.ml, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and dbzer0 have that, and they can have very different stances on other issues as well (i.e. Lemmygrad vs dbzer0). They can still be echo-chambery (which is hard to avoid) but they also tend to have more users that are interested in intellectual debate.

As far as what instance actually has the most diverse points of view, I'd say lemm.ee which federates with basically everybody and I've seen users there from all over the political spectrum. However, there's isn't much in terms of political discussion there compared to other instances.

It works on my phone, I've been using it for years. I'm currently using it off of Obtainium though.

Not at all, I don't eat eggs regularly

The wealthy practically control both parties in government and the country is full of Nazis, a Democrat winning would have only delayed the inevitable that hasn't already happened yet

people on Rednote are actually nice though, whereas Truth Social is full of MAGA Nazis

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I'm not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it's about as federated as Bluesky)

Trump doing tons of shit was the first thing I saw. The "Migrants weep in Mexico as Trump admin cancels all appointments for Biden's CBP One app immediately after swearing in" one in particular though, they're not even pretending to not be horrible people anymore.

Gab is largely similar right now but in Twitter format instead, and people posting super Christiany stuff also. Apparently their founder was one of the people resharing the Elon salute, while r/Conservative likes to pretend they aren't Nazis while still being Nazis

I'm glad the Guix leadership is listening to their userbase. I've been having an enormous amount of trouble getting Guix to work correctly on aarch64, and I'm not sure how to correctly contribute packages without them getting ignored, both of which are issues that are making me reconsider switching to the Nix ecosystem. However, I like the FOSS focus and configuration language, so hopefully there's a bigger chance that these issues will get resolved.

People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don't deserve to be listened to

I'm looking at r/Conservative, Gab, and other far-right outlets to see what is happening with the incoming administration, and all I can say is what the actual fuck

I'm not sure, that's the one reason I use Instagram also. You could use something like MyInsta, which blocks ads and I think lets you disable shit like Reels. You could also try using an RSS feed with proxygram, although I've found the public instances to be unreliable and I'm not sure if it still works. Otherwise, you're going to need to somehow convince them to use a certain Mastodon instance instead (offering to host one for your local area might make people more interested, but even then good luck with that).

The Cromite devs said they use ABP instead of uBO because it's in C++ instead of JavaScript so they can easily implement it, it also has patches to remove some of the weirder stuff
