    This is the fediverse it’s full of new people, adventurers, change makers. The majority of people who would be interested in this platform will have a more progressive bent. So the majority of people here will be more accepting of liberal policies.

      Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not a new people. I’ve been a people for almost my whole life. I bet most of us have.

      Quibble: Many here are explicitly leftist, in the a leftist-not-liberal sense, and will even use “liberal” derogatorily. So, progressive, yes, but liberal, not necessarily.

        From my perspective I think that that is very silly. I don’t care for purity tests, but what would I know? I’m just a dirty libertarian.

    I believe in the freedom of speech.

    I believe in religious freedom.

    I believe no one should go hungry.

    I believe no one should freeze.

    I believe no one should die from preventable diseases.

    I believe everyone has a right to education.

    I believe everyone has a right to healthcare.

    I believe everyone has a right to participate in society and the internet.

    I believe everyone should contribute if they can, because that is fair.

    I believe people should be able to retire.

    I believe most people are good, and want to do good.

    I believe in cooperation, and working towards a common goal.

    I believe that all people should have a minimum set of rights, that are non-negotiable.

    I trust my neighbours, my family and strangers.

    Based on these values I could be placed anywhere from center-right to far-left in Europe.

    In the US I am a filthy commie

    Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn’t operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.
