Nah, not all of them are. Some are just trying to avoid an argument in a place where that would reflect poorly on them, basically using it to shut down a conversation before it escalates. I know someone who's definitely left-leaning but doesn't want that in a public (non-lemmy) space they're moderating because it's a nightmare to do if you're working full time and trying to relax in your free time. They have no issue stating their convictions in a chatroom we're both in, but the most political they've gotten on said public platform was saying "If you voted red, get the fuck out".
And some are just genuinely fucking dumb.
