Just looking at the top 10 posts on the front page right now, you're right, they are right, but mostly (90%) conservative right, not this extreme far-right stuff you see on the shill front sites. But that's just the upvoted stuff, which indicates the preferences of the users. I'm sure there are a lot of leftist and centrist posts as well, maybe they're not just as popular, because in reality, most Americans and people of similar nations (Saidit's primary userbase) are conservative, so it fits the demographics.

OK - it will be interesting to see how these approaches develop. Regarding:

In 2013 a poll identified:

self-identified conservatives stand at 38%, moderates at 34% and liberals at 23%

That seems to be consistent with recent trends.

2021 - the majority are much more conservative now, but they have rigged elections, so unless the people move, nothing changes. 2013 was the Obama era, that time has long since passed. Moderates don't really exist anymore for the most part. You're either far left (a fringe), left (decreasing as California implodes), or right for the most part.
