Reality check:

Social engine choice, in isolation, does not corelate strongly with the user's political ideology.

Using Pleroma doesn't make you a nazi. Using Mastodon doesn't make you an antifa. There are Mastodon instances full of nazi. There are a lot of Pleroma instances run by queer, trans and disabled folks.

Hell, there's a lot of queer and trans folks who _develop_ Pleroma. I know a few.

Just... fucking... Don't start judging people around solely by the software they use, awight?

... unless it's Windows. /j
@drq i mean if you're using windows i can safely say you're one of the computer users ever
@drq millennials love judging entire user bases by their outliers
@drq I know you wouldn't judge me for using Odnoklassniki.

@shuro Some of my best friends used Odnoklassniki.

Right, @inexcode?

@drq @shuro @inexcode we've all been there. It was popular throughout my ex-classmates (pun intended) to use it around 10 years ago. Now I don't use it at all
@drq I started self hosting pleroma before I'd heard this particular stigma, because I'm getting into elixir and was seeing how it was to run an elixir app and also because it's only two things to run (the app and the database) and not what seems like a wild amount of software to self host.

once I had heard of the stigma, there was a little while I was considering figuring out mastodon to avoid it because of it. But ultimately it seemed entirely backwards to stop using easy to run software because it's somehow associated with nazis 🙃
@drq
Я использую элементы suckless и значит, что я фашист. Вы не правы, всего хорошего /j
@drq
Wait, is Pleroma considered to be a nazi place?

With https://conservative.capital and https://mastogelb.de the Fediverse has servers about #conservatism and #liberalism. I wonder how much potential non-leftist instances have, so here is a #politics #poll: Do you consider yourself...? Please :boost: for sample size! [ ] leftist [ ] centrist or liberal [ ] conservative or right-wing [ ] apolitical
