Contrary to popular belief, you can be on the Fediverse regardless of your views. Your tribe is here.

But depending on your views and values, you might face significant opposition, since this place tends to lean VERY left, anticapitalistic, environmentally and socially conscious, etc. There are good, historical reasons for that, and those views and voices are very important.

But if your views run contrary to those (or if those issues just aren't particularly important to you), it's fine. You can find a home here.

You just need to be careful about whom you choose to allow into your feed, by carefully curating whom you follow, and liberally blocking those who will invariably reply to your posts to tell you how wrong you are and how you need to get off this space, drop dead, you're evil, etc.

It's difficult, and I completely understand how you might not even consider it worth the effort, choosing rather to go to Threads or Bluesky or Instagram, or even X.

And I won't tell you that it's worth it, either. But as with anything, you need to be the change you want to see. So come join us, and stick it out. Objectively, *technically*, the Fediverse is a better platform than all of those.

The Fediverse is for everyone.
