mpjgregoire, 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago) @wjmaggos @evan There was a poll on Fedi a year ago in which (as I recall) around 5% of the respondents said they were conservative and 1% very conservative. In the US, about a third of the public identifies as conservative https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-steady-conservatives-moderates-tie.aspx . [0] Thus politics on Fedi is highly out of sync with public opinion. As for Twitter, I don't think there is a consensus at all. People stay in their own silos. [0] In Canada, polling for "Conservative" makes search for similar data difficult.
