I've always wondered why conservatives insist on coming to the fediverse when conventional networks are more appealing to them and their ideals nowadays. Or is that still not enough?

FOSS is for everyone. Not wanting to be dependent on big tech isn't uniquely a leftist ideal, and it should be obvious by now that the political affiliation and community guidelines of big tech companies are entirely dependent on the current political landscape, not any moral values or held ideals, and can change at any moment.

Are you sure? most people working on projects against big tech tend to be very left leaning. The conservatives love using the appeal of authority to silence minorities and voices they don't like.

Right wing creeping up to take control of these spaces doesn't make it their ideal.

I could be wrong. Can you name some popular projects against big tech by conservatives?

even bootlickers want to feel like they're talking to other real bootlickers, in their online spaces, not just bot/LLM spam
