It is hyperbole, correct. It is the exact same hyperbole as you saying "a very narrow political viewpoint". No more than what you gave.
Now I don't know and don't want to know what opinions you are referring to, but based on my experience of mastodon, that "very narrow" characterisation is very much false.
BTW, I also disagree with you on what "the problem" is.
Not following a proscribed political viewpoint is now "extremist trolling". Yeesh!
Some of these points aren't even controversial to most people in the real world, just on the Internet. See: men in women's sports. Go and ask a random person in real life what they think and then compare that with the Fediverse.
Is that viewpoint "extremist trolling"? I don't think so, personally. You've just assumed the parent must be a horrendous person with horrendous viewpoints. But you actually haven't read them.
Here's some rules:
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
The idea that "the fediverse", an inherently decentralised network even has "a proscribed political viewpoint" is extremist and troll-y, yes. it is the technique of skating right over the bad-faith misframing of the issue in the hopes that we go along with it.
