Chances are, fediverse will end up with right wing instances that only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, left wing will only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, centrists will see all
I dunno, has this ever actually happened? I think centrists almost universally end up backing the right-wing. Hell, the Centrists were vital in the Nazi's coming to power, and it literally would not have happened without them.
And the 'left wing' is going to be a fractured bunch that overlap slightly, yet Social Democrats, Marxists, Anarcha-Feminists, these 'left wing' groups have vastly different ideas of the best way to help everyone, and I don't see Centrists asking the Anarchists what's up. Centrists are how we got neo-Liberalism, and 'well we can't BAN abortion... but we can limit it unless the woman is...' They want an 'inbetween' in an era when fascists have taken over the most powerful country in the world, with the open backing of fascists/authoritarians in other nations. What's the centrist response to concentration camps in Guantanamo Bay? What sort of chat will happen between Centrists and the Right-Wing with banning abortion? How about the rights of people transitioning? Because from what I'm seeing, they seem awfully okay with it.
They probably all agree we're stronger together. Kinda applies to left and right, too. Hence centrists. Yes yes, I know you cant reason with fascists, but I dont think a centrists aim is to recruit the furthest right.
See all, but understand nothing.
