Recently there was a poll in the French-speaking community about political views of Mastodon users.
Results:
Total: 696 votes (not many, but quite representative for such a niche community).
Far left: 398 votes;
Left: 289 votes;
Right: 8 votes;
Far right: 1 vote.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
@gemlog, that's what I was talking about.

Yes, I saw a similar poll in English a few years ago; it had a similar result. People on the Fediverse are much more left-wing than the general public.
That said, I express my political views and don't get much hostility. Those who really dislike them probably don't follow me, and I try not to jump into other people's threads to tell them they're wrong.
Feels sometimes like I'm speaking to the void, though every now and then I have a post that a few people agree with.
