It seems to me that the left/right divide is between custodial servers and decentralized protocols. Lefties seem to like nanny corporations who protect them against mis/dis-information while righties seem to want an anything goes wild west protocol. I found it hysterical when all the lefties fled Twitter for Mastodon, leaving one custodian for another.

That's the nail hitting the head.
Personally I thrive better here because I don’t have a thin skin and I am not expecting a corporate entity or government to protect my interests. Having a progressive mindset does not equate to the desire to live in a nerfed world, but I recognize I may be an edge case.
This points out the different ways that people use the term "progressive". It's a nice word isn't it? It connotes moving "forward", as though there was some kind of pre-ordained direction to social evolution. The truth, of course, is that the only pre-ordained direction of human culture is increased profit. All other changes in human culture are in service to that goal, always have been, and always will be.
In any case, and with respect, I infer your meaning to be that you are more libertarian than left. That you reasonate with the euphemistic memes of "choice" and "X rights are human rights" etc. But that you are not an AOC socialist who wants central control over the means of production and the flow of information.
