I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

    People that are naturally drawn to fediverse tend to be:

    • self-hosting enthusiasts excited to run their own social media platforms, which are tend to be big supporters of FOSS
    • left-leaning idealists who want to get away from big corps platforms
    • pirates (arrr)

    So it’s not that surprising to see plenty of anti-capitalism and transgender stuff here if you consider this demographics.

      Yeah but I’ve also seen a lot of supporters of FOSS from right wing people. 4chan has a big FOSS community for example. For some reason those types don’t frequent fediverse?

        Well, if you look at Mastodpns history they definitely tried but servers like Gab shut down the Federation eventually because they where almoat entirely isolated really quick and efficiently by basically all other instances. I think those things have a lasting effect and could definitely be part of the reason.
