Not surprising.
Left-leaning people already left, this is to be expected
When I check the subreddits from my country its mostly left content. I really don't have that feeling although I think its not as politically onesided as it is here
AND deranged. I posted a comment about the blow back that seniors are going to feel from the disruption among staffing in the caregiving field, and got banned from a sub, along with comments that I was "calling for elder abuse". It was fun while it lasted, but I am DONE looking forward to watching Lemmy explode
There are also several posts on whether or not Elon Musk did the Nazi salute (many of which are denying it) and being against women.
The majority of reddit content is bots, shills, and astroturfing
And there is some people who still use it (30%?).
It's also still very progressive. If reddit is considered conservative to you, you may be very far left.
most people on lemmy are delusional
It used to be center left but not anymore
Reddit is a shell now, and they're desperately filling it with AI.
Old search results, mostly.
Reddit has always been right wing. I've seen the comments on us arabs on terrorist attacks. Fucking disgusting.
Once upon a time I got called a terrorist WHILE I was performing on a community theater stage. The bright spot was how quickly my fellow actors and the rest of the patrons shut that down
please, dont go on Instagram reels.
Has it, or were there always pockets of all kinds of schools of thought? It seemed that way to me at least until Spez decided money was more important than anything else and a good chunk of the left-leaners decided they'd be better off elsewhere.
That's not a pejorative, by the way. I'm a left-leaner. And I, well, left.
I'd say i'm very left wing, too. But reddit always felt off to me, like i wasn't meant to be there. I see why now, due to them saying this stuff about us when they can.
but the majority are just conservatives/faux-liberals who'd sell you out and your race for their own convenience, anyway.
It was much less overt and fascistic in like 2011, fuck I’m old
The racism is definitely there, you can scroll like three posts on trending and there it is again. One of the main reasons I left.
I was going to screenshot some examples from a single thread, but there were too fucking many. Holy shit.
No, it has not. And it's still very progressive.
Ngl, after reading most comments you seem like the only other person with a brain in this thread.
I don't know what website these people are on. It's straight up liberal all the way down the line. I can't believe my eyes.
Anything not communist is far right to these people.
progressive
??? If reddit is progressive then 4chan is moderate.
Ffs, they even push anti semitic conspiracy theories saying to watch europa.

Cherry picking comments isn't a good argument. Browse r/politics.
Not only are those comments highly upvoted, they are high up in the comment section.
So? There's hundreds of thousands comments daily that are liberal comments. Where even are these comments you found posted? You may have had a bad experience, but most of reddit is very liberal.
It is objectively very liberal.
It IS liberal, and those same people will turn against us the moment they realise we aren't dogs that listen to every order. They do this every election season and throw minorities under the bus. They're faux liberals.
Where even are these comments you found posted?
Literally after the #2 comment under the post, what are you talking about.
I didn't mention any post, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Honestly, dude, maybe you should just stop going there?
Hell, maybe even just get off the internet for awhile. You're downvoting comments you don't agree with and arguing over stupid shit. Move on.

Dude, you started this argument, not me. And what you think the downvote button is for?
Saying I'm unwell after 3 replies is unhinged. I've seen your other replies in this thread; clearly you are just a prick who likes to argue with people.
You made a flagrantly false statement based on your emotions?
I've provided proof for my claims and you haven't. Seems like you're the one making emotional claims.
How is reddit right wing? Half of the posts on there bashes Trump, and praise Biden.
I'm left wing, and it feels like most of reddit has become a left wing echo chamber
Spoiler alert: Biden isn't left wing
What is left wing?
It's a garbage site full of garbage people. Except for the people that I like on Reddit.
Garbage people? Dude, you're hateful.
I guess you are really in tune with jokes. I thought that was obvious to most everybody
My joke missed. I meant it as if you were upset with your local garbage men. I see now that it wasn't clear and it feels bad, man. I WAS drunk when posting this though.
I don't remember writing anything and I think I passed out before the last few minutes of the game.
Lions fan here. I feel you, bro.
Back at you. These playoff losses make me more depressed than usual for like a week
All of this is gibberish to me, and yet it makes perfect sense.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
