@ainmosni@berlin.social That's actually a fact. But there's an explanation : Mastodon is a large part of the Fedi, and its "server covenant" is pretty explicit. If you want your server to be listed on the official Mastodon website, you have to do "active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia". The whole network is basically showing right wing folks the door. https://joinmastodon.org/covenant

@burgervege@mamot.fr The thing is, I don't consider any of that inherently left-wing.

@burgervege@mamot.fr @ainmosni@berlin.social this. In the US, there is a higher chance that a right-wing person likes one or more of the bigotries and/or politically supports politicians that directly or indirectly give power to those bigotries. Ex. The Republican dominated state of Texas. Folks voting red may claim to not hate blacks, or LGBTQ+, but the laws coming out from their party sure seem to target them. Fed rules trip these people up. Don’t be a bigot. Your politics may follow.

@burgervege@mamot.fr @ainmosni@berlin.social It’s very telling that anti-bigotry policies have the effect of excluding right-wingers. That Mastodon policy doesn’t proscribe specific economic opinions, nor opinions about political systems, nor anything along those lines. Yet the right wingers vanish when you exclude bigots. 🤔
