Could just be a consequence of a less ideologically diverse user base to start with.
I’m so upset about (privacy, reddit, corporatism, etc, etc) that I’m prepared to leave my large online social networks for a smaller space on principle is probably a bit of an outlier position to take.
Not that it’s wrong, but it’s probably something we all agree on. Something out there is so fucked up we refuse to be a part of it on principle, even if we don’t fully agree on what that is.
it’s also an outlier position fueled by belief, and people tend to self-select to be around others who believe as they do, and punish those who don’t.
it’s one thing to be concern about privacy, it’s another to browbeat anyone who doesn’t have a pihole server and selfhosts all their media content as being ‘fools’. i don’t use linux other than at my job, and according to lemmy techies I’m a heretic.

This is the answer!
Principle*
Lovely observation of the greatest commonality here, though.
Good call out, corrected.
