I spend more time here than on my own instance, but whenever I see ignorant conservatives here, they tend to be from my instance. My guess is that centrist techies gravitate towards lemmy.world because it's popular and anti-tankie, not realizing how left wing many users still are. Even if they are economically progressive, they still might exist in a socially conservative industry or culture.
Some are right wing trolls taking advantage of the lower barrier to entry, but many are genuine. They have a mix of based and cringe views, unwilling to learn how to respect trans people out of laziness. Many conservatives have trouble accepting when they're the problem.
