Because on FOSS social networks if you personally like something that's not leftist, you'll get banned in a week at most.
I know that and it's a good thing. But FOSS networks are unable to be general and all inclusive. That's what I'm usually talking about and something I feel like they lie about.
You can be right wing in FOSS networks.
There's two things you can't do (at least if you want to keep a community healthy):
There are cases of those who dehumanise others (e.g. racists, anti-trans, literal nazis, etc...) who get banned because they're doing the two things you can't do. But in those cases they're not banned because they're right wing, they're banned because those actions break communities, so the community has to ban them to continue existing.
You really have weird priorities, fellow internet user.
Huh?
