I'm interested in the overall political views of SpaceHey's user community. From your insights or any data you have , is there a clear trend or inclination regarding the political beliefs of its users? For instance, do most users seem to favor liberal or progressive views, Or do they generally align with conservative or Republican perspectives? Or is the community more politically varied or neutral? I'm looking to find out if SpaceHey promotes a specific political environment or if it tends to be more diverse or apolitical.. :/

Honestly from my limited skimming of the forums I'd wager that while the site has a left lean (the 2000s myspace atmosphere attracts alternative subcultures which predictably are more socially liberal/left) there's still a decent chunk of centrists/moderates. Social conservatives seem to be in the minority. Most people here tend to also have very underdeveloped and inconsistent political beliefs in particular (regardless of political affiliation) but that's not meant to be me getting on my high horse or anything it's just a natural consequence of having a very young userbase. As a result I couldn't tell you where I think most Spacehey users stand economically on politics because it basically never comes up in political discussion on the site rofl & it also makes it harder to tell even their social position on politics because someone who is otherwise liberal might unknowingly say something very very conservative because they didn't think it through. Vice versa of course but you see it more with liberal users because there's more of them
