Chances are, fediverse will end up with right wing instances that only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, left wing will only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, centrists will see all
centrists will see all
I dunno, has this ever actually happened? I think centrists almost universally end up backing the right-wing. Hell, the Centrists were vital in the Nazi's coming to power, and it literally would not have happened without them.
And the 'left wing' is going to be a fractured bunch that overlap slightly, yet Social Democrats, Marxists, Anarcha-Feminists, these 'left wing' groups have vastly different ideas of the best way to help everyone, and I don't see Centrists asking the Anarchists what's up. Centrists are how we got neo-Liberalism, and 'well we can't BAN abortion... but we can limit it unless the woman is...' They want an 'inbetween' in an era when fascists have taken over the most powerful country in the world, with the open backing of fascists/authoritarians in other nations. What's the centrist response to concentration camps in Guantanamo Bay? What sort of chat will happen between Centrists and the Right-Wing with banning abortion? How about the rights of people transitioning? Because from what I'm seeing, they seem awfully okay with it.
They probably all agree we're stronger together. Kinda applies to left and right, too. Hence centrists. Yes yes, I know you cant reason with fascists, but I dont think a centrists aim is to recruit the furthest right.

No it is to disempower and politically undermine leftist populism, uphold suffocating neoliberalism and then at the moment it all comes crashing down with innocent people getting hurt everywhere by their shitty politics they throw up their hands and say "well we tried everything, I guess we should cede power to literal fascists!".
History is littered with examples of this, it is nauseating how little creativity there is to the politics of oppression.
Man I dont get how trying to keep both from going off the rails is "hurting people" if anything the accelerationism is whats going to do that. And, motherfucker, I dont have to think marx is a genius to oppose fascism. I abhor tyrants, thats why i am liberal. What I want is freedom and liberty from oppression for all. Economic systems are just the vehicle to that for me.

Literally my entire point is the centrist refusal to understand the massive difference between annoying leftists who nevertheless value human life and rightwing fascists who attempt to violently overthrow democratically elected governments opens the door wide open to rightwing fascism.
In this moment the ideological requirement for there to be both sides and both be roughly equal in how wrong they are is brainworms and it could not be less suited to understanding the coming era of rightwing, fascist normalization of violence of which the Palestinian Genocide is simply the summoning ritual.

Unfortunately, your simplified notion of "center=good" here completely undermines your ability to understand what policies and politics will actually create the environment you desire, and worse leads to the classic case of a centrist angrily defending awful beliefs and hate because that is the moderate center that they conclude must be right because some rightwing people are more bigoted and some leftists are just too shrill and aggravating about how bigotry is bad, so that means a little bigotry is good!
Economic systems are just the vehicle to that for me.
Economics isn't physics, everything is biased and needs to be questioned and examined for how it actually acts on the world, economic systems are never "just" anything, they are political intersections of struggle that fools like you stand in with your eyes squeezed shut screaming "this is an objective science!" as you shake your fists at a fascist who nods and smiles and repeats your words back to you but only cares about talking economics insofar as it is a convenient language for rationalizing brutalizing minorities and the powerless (mmmm austerity).
See all, but understand nothing.
