Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

(Edit: I should say however that this is regardless horrifying)

This poll is likely very skewed because anyone who bothers to respond is probably doing so because they have a (hate) agenda. The text of the first question could probably have been replaced with “I want to say I am a christian fascist without saying it out loud” and have the same outcome.

There is selection bias probably as well. Those who see the poll are selected in particular way.

Yes, very good point. Selection bias will likely skew any twitter “poll” because the algorithms feed the polls only to what the algorithm believes is the target audience. It’s perpetuating polarization and even extremism because people don’t see rational opposing views that are part of a healthy conversation.

Right like the people who follow these scum bags, but even still this result on a major social media site is a sight I never thought I’d see

Yeah as much as I hate Elon and Twitter and do in fact think it's a far right cesspool, Twitter polls are not to be trusted even if they confirm your pre-existing views.

Well, yeah. Unless, 56% of my friends and colleagues are Nazi sympathisers. Shit. They've hidden it well.
