@daringfireball @gruber “Is the goal of the #Fediverse to be #AntiCorporate?”

A lot of instances are set up explicitly so, and there are many vocal users both on those instances and elsewhere.

Dip into posts on #politics or #economics (or even as an undercurrent to a lot of other posts) and you’ll find some very extreme #lefitist and #AntiCapitalist rhetoric. It can seem like the fediverse skews far-#left the same way “#AltTech” platforms skew far-#right.

@mjgardner @daringfireball @gruber it’s not American dominated, if that’s what you mean.

@Colman @daringfireball @gruber America doesn’t have a monopoly on far-right extremism

@mjgardner @Colman @daringfireball @gruber In the western hemisphere you kinda do. There are a couple authoritarian ruled countries that are quite bad (Turkey, Hungary, some Latin American countries), but in the US a great percentage basically freely supports far right agendas. So by scale, you do have the biggest share.

@mjgardner @daringfireball @gruber I’m hoping the answer is a resounding “yes”! At least, that’s why I’m here. Corporations are cancer.
