@imstilljeremy @raf What I mean by that is that given the absolute insanity that has come out in the open over the last six months, even those of us who would identify as left or even just liberal end up being on what would be considered the rightward end of things for this network.

@acarson @imstilljeremy @raf I guess I’m saying that that surprises me. I haven’t really noticed that, not really seen a more rightward trend here amongst my mutuals compared to, say, Bluesky or something.
@jaklacroix @imstilljeremy @raf We may be having a different experience, I scroll local a lot while still continuing to try to keep my home timeline from going entirely insane. Spoiler alert: I’m losing. So now it’s pretty much just local and notifications and mentions.
@jaklacroix @imstilljeremy @raf Sorry different experiences, not a different experience.
@acarson @imstilljeremy @raf oh interesting! I pretty much never scroll there, only my follows. I only find new people to follow by happenstance if someone interacts or gets retooted into my timeline. I find if I go anyplace like local, I find a lot of stuff I don’t like, too.

I’m not sure left/right is the best way to capture what going on elsewhere. Certainly supporting Hamas and the Houthis is more indicative of rightwing and fascist leanings to me 👁
