Yes , I am. The US right is so batshit that I’ve never found one I could even consider voting for. And most democrats in the US are to the right of my beliefs.

But I am pretty cenrterist in my policy beliefs.

What makes a man turn neutral?

“I’m apolitical” == “I have political opinions that are too extremist even for political parties”

This post reminds me of an old adage I heard about driving. “Everyone that drives slower than me is an idiot, and everyone that drives faster is a maniac”

As others are saying, your middle ground is someone else’s extreme.

There is a saying: "facts have a liberal bias". :-) Some people ofc vehemently disagree.

Each instance is different, as is each community. Many do not follow their own rules, especially about "no politics allowed" but it creeps in everywhere. Tbf, modding is a hard job.

Though you can block communities that you don't want to see in your feed, and even entire instances (it won't stop people from them downvoting you or even commenting on your stuff, but it will stop notifications being sent to you when they do. Get to it via Settings -> Blocks -> Instance. Users and communities can be done similarly but it's easier to just visit their page and hit the block button there. There's a saying about that too: block early and often, for the sake of your sanity.

I don't know about instances - there's a lot to look at like lemm.ee, lemmy.cafe, reddthat.com, sh.itjust.works, etc. - but I hope this helped in other ways:-).

If by asking for a neutral place you are asking for somewhere that conservatives with hateful, childish, and dangerous beliefs that have no quantifiable basis in reality can go where they won't be treated like children..... shrugs

Not anywhere I will spend my time, conservatives can stay in their lame isolated pockets on the fediverse, the rest of the fediverse is for people who actually have functioning capacities for empathy and want to have adult conversations that adhere to reality.

It's extremely had to be politically neutral for a global community.

The centre of the political spectrum in one country might be left/right in another.

Then comes the extreme ideologies, are they trolling or genuine? Is that opinion considered hateful in some countries?

It's a complete minefield. Why would someone without an agenda to push even try? Most neutrals would just say 'no politics'.

Everything is political, even the desire for an apolitical space.

You could always start this if you can't find it, could be interesting? c/middleground?

Edit: the center is going to mean different things to different people too.

No - there is no such thing.
