I don’t visit alt-right spaces, like 4chan and so, but do they also have the occasional centrist asking them why they don’t have leftist on their spaces?
I “enjoy” browsing 9gag and in that prison of racism and misogyny the odd poster pops up now and again with a bit of fact checking to dispel or disrupt whatever narrative the bot farms are pushing that day. As to opposing social views though? Not really - I guess the mass of users torpedo such comments with down voting etc.
I haven’t checked in some years but iirc the dynamic is a little different since consensus is maintained with verbal abuse and soyjak memes moreso than moderation, and it’s common to false flag an opposition perspective to bait angry engagement.
That would assume there is a “centrist” out there that isn’t just a conservative that doesn’t want to deal with the public consequences of being one. Surely they must, but I have yet to encounter one.
