Why is there such a large amount of communist and transgender related posts on the Fediverse compared to other platforms?

I am not criticizing them, I'm just out of the loop.

Curious what other platforms aren’t? Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc are extremely Left so it’s always typical to see politically charged posts in relation to those things (among other topics). Curious to hear other people’s thoughts but I was hopeful the Fediverse would be a little more neutral.

i assume you are American. Only in the awkward U.S. paradigm can somebody think of these platforms as "extremely left" 🤦
I'm in the US and I would not consider Facebook to be "extremely Left" at all
i don't see how what you wrote is contradictory to what i wrote.
Oh shit, I guess I was wrong (for the most part). I’ve been spending too much time on Reddit, where those types posts were the regular.

pre-Musk Twitter was the least right-wing of the social media platforms (being center-right at best) – current Twitter, Reddit, Meta (Facebook & Instagram) are solidly right-wing – Facebook was caught several times adjusting its algorithm to promote right-wing extremism
relatively speaking, the Fediverse is to the left of mainstream social media, but being relatively to the left of Nazis doesn’t automatically make you an Communist (there’s a whole spectrum in between, it’s not a binary)
