It’s made by Communists

I'm not surprised that people who reject a platform with centralized authority for shifting to "deliver value to shareholders" mode would be more leftist.

You're absolutely clowning if you think you have the breadth of data available to confidently make such an assessment. This is, ironically, an incredibly Reddit moment.

Since I didn’t subscribe to any communities that are clearly all about politics, I haven’t really noticed many political views in my feed. Just like with Reddit, I’m here mostly for the science and technology.

What if I told you reddits antiwork was basically a glimpse of everything we're seeing on far left Lemmy. Lemmy just doesn't have a honeymoon stage for it.

See, my worry was Mastadon's Fascist rep. Lemmy's left twist is no sweat of my back.

I disagree. As a conservative I’ve only been banned from one sublemmy for my political alignment.

On reddit I got banned from space after space when my politics became known. Here I’m allowed to exist, which means this place is way less leftist than reddit.

IDK, seems like European right wing is considered left wing in USA.

So for most Americans, most Europeans are left wing.

Maybe lemmy has more Europeans?

The ultraconservatives already left for gab and truth social. There are some conservative instances and a few nazi ones as well, but the aforementioned two scooped up most of right wingers willing to jump ship.

I am a Nonist and hate reddit because of the cry baby and power tripping mods. Politics and political leaning doesn't exist in my internet life. For my old ass the internet is another world.

Well it small anr mostly made up of young techies. So yeah a left leaning bunch.

Yeah, Reddit leans boringly mildly progressive, Lemmy leans communist.

Post 2016, the worldnews/geopolitics subs that I follow on reddit have become nonstop sinophobic and anti-China hate subs. Prior to 2016, there were a lot of complaining about Chinese tourists and kids that shit on the streets, but after Trump got elected the cold war rhetoric went into full effect.

This got worse during and after Covid19, especially in America, Canada, and parts of Europe.

The cold war propagandizing is just so incredibly prevalent on reddit. It's like people forgot what the cultural/business relationship between the US and China looked like prior to 2016.

I think everything West is leftish at the moment.

The Soviet Union went alt right, what could be more natural for the west to go left?

I'm Gen X, it's all a bit too weird for me.
