So, I have the feeling that the #fediverse is a very left-wing dominated space. Let's see if that feeling is correct.
Please boost for reach.
I consider myself:
@ainmosni There are definitely parts leaning right, but the parts leaning left tend to block servers that lean right obviously.
@Anke I'd hope that would only go for the bigoted ones, not the ones that are right wing without bigotry.
politics
@ainmosni @Anke I mean, this may end up being a definitional issue, but by the only definition I've ever found that makes sense (left = egalitarian, right = hierarchical), bigotry *has* to exist on some level for right-wing ideology to function, because there needs to be a 'lesser' class of people for a 'justified' hierarchy to be able to exist.
politics
@ainmosni @Anke That's collectivism vs. individualism; though those map very closely onto egalitarian vs. hierarchical, because the purpose of individualism is to gain an advantage over others (which is a goal provided by hierarchy) whereas the purpose of collectivism is to collectively move ahead everyone's well-being (which is an egalitarian measure).
Cases of individualism masquerading as collectivism notwithstanding (eg. authoritarian 'communist' governments).

@joepie91 @Anke
On that last point, authoritarian vs liberalism is its own axis again. :P
