MODERATORS
There’s a LOT of extremist left wingers but it’s ok because there’s a down arrow and block buttons. Oddly enough I haven’t seen much extremist right wing stuff plus I don’t have to care if someone doesn’t like me here so I’m less concerned about being honest.
It’s no mystery, the natural predator of fascists is communists
You’re welcome
The right wingers can't even move an inch in here, which is refreshing.
I think it’s more likely that the demographic of Internet culture always has tended to lean fairly progressive
I think a distributed, democratically oriented platform that makes no effort to rank people in a hierarchy or score their performance naturally appeals to a lot of leftists. Can't say I've seen much I would describe as extremist, but I haven't looked so it seems plausible.
Of course there's nothing actively stopping right wing instances from spinning up, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before one blows up.
