imo centrists shouldn’t be shocked that the people literally working and laboring to go against censorship (all of the human hours gone into specs, implementations, community building etc etc) because of their radical views fosters those with similar views. Both left and right mind you. Member voat? How many of them you think are on those popular right wing fediverse networks I won’t name? I’m one of those extreme leftists (I just go by anarchist or socialist), but I remember when Reddit was banning right wing subreddits and was met with cheers by liberals.
Like it or not, far left and right are here in the fediverse and won’t leave because they are the ones who it’s built by and for, for better or worse. If we want the fediverse to succeed, it needs quality moderation/safety/anti-spam tools and protocols so people can filter out the stuff they deem uninterested in or something somehow equivalent.
This is the Wild West era right now. If the fediverse can survive for a decade, it might go the way of Blender and Godot, with a publicly accountable non profit foundation and all etc. Or it might go the way of gopher.
So do i, but i miss hobby and niche content on lemmy. The posts/communities that get the most activity are news and politics (even in unrelated communities)
I think both have a good place on lemmy, but i just want people to keep everything in its place.
