The Fediverse is home to a lot of young, tech-minded people distrustful of major corporations. The younger generations are more likely to come out as transgender due to greater awareness and acceptance of gender identity and dysphoria, and a decentralised, open platform is naturally going to appeal to communists, syndicalists and other left-wingers who don’t want some billionaire buying the next website they get comfortable on. And funnily enough, there are a surprising number of trans people in the tech sector, to the point where trans-flag socks have become a meme among programmers.

That’ll be partly down to the communist and transgender coders who helped lay the foundations for this place.

it’s amazing what you see when algorithms aren’t deciding it for you.

Why is there such a large amount of Nazi, fascist, conservative, Republican, and bootlicking related posts on other platforms compared to the Fediverse?

Because the Lemmy software was developed by communist-leaning developers and they have, prior to the reddit exodus, had the biggest communities. As for the transgender related content, the transgender community was one of the largest to leave reddit for Lemmy.

The more transgender related posts are mostly because 196 a very large queer and especially trans friendly subreddit closed permanently and migrated wholesale to a instance called blahajzone. If you look at r/place right now you can tell the absence of 196 by the fact there are very few queer symbols on r/place compared to last year where 196 and associated subs had coordinated artworks and defense campaigns for their flags. I’m pretty sure last time they managed to take over the American flag and force it to move to another spot on the canvas. Now there are two small flags and nothing else.

I would expect it’s due to suppression on mainstream platforms.

And unlike hate-based subcultures like you find in conservatism or disgust-based subcultures present in traditionalist circles which require some targets to criticize hosts to sink their mandibles into and suck the blood out of, the LGBTQIA+, Anti-capitalist, Furry, Weeb, etc subcultures are quite happy existing without the presence of bigots, corpo-simps, or chuds in general.

I blocked the blahaj (nothing against trans people. “Communities” based on sex/gender-stuff is just cringe) and lemmygrad (plus other tankie) instances. Now I barely see any of it.

Because they are here to take control of the narrative. I got severely downvote, name called and ultimately site banned from an instance because I politely constantly questioned them. The censorship is coming
