I get the feeling I'm mixing my definitions. In my mind liberals are generally allies of progressives and leftists, no?
So in Lemmy and other fediverse services, liberals are typically defined as "left of center." That's because a significant portion of fediverse users are progressives (socialists, advocates for social justice within government) to leftists (anarchists, who believe the government shouldn't exist in the first place, and communists where money shouldn't exist in the first place).
Goootcha, I was thinking the context was classical liberals who lean more right.
