I have a need to create a new account on mastodon, but I am not familiar with the different instances and servers.

      Depends on the area. As it’s a German instance, in terms of German politics it really is “as left as it gets”. But they probably don’t care much about US politics.

        That implies US politics would be more left than German politics? Neither German nor US politics are “as left as it gets”, so I’m not sure they are a great measure here.

        It’s a general purpose instance. Gargron may be left leaning, but I don’t think he’s into radical left politics?

        There are instances with leftist statements in their about section, openly leftist teams and largely lefty/political local timelines.

          I was thinking more that their moderation team is mostly German and thus they’re very sensitive about German politics but less sensitive about other countries’ politics.

          I got shadowbanned for life for mentioning not to blindly believe some statement about a “secret” report about the German right-wing party without seeing said report first. So that’s that.
