I'm confused. Do you consider these centrists, you're listing here? Otherwise, it's kinda proving my point.

They're right leaning. You made it sound like it's harder to make your timeline right leaning than center leaning.

I started out just following software developers. After Brexit and Trump getting elected, which was completely unexpected by me, I realised how much of an echo chamber I was in.
