I'll go first.

• I think there is a strong pro-Linux bias. It wouldn't surprise me if 40+% use it on here.
• People from the US seem over-represented, but less so compared to Reddit
• There is a far stronger anti-capitalist sentiment on here than other social media
• The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

People before profit.

Cities should be walkable

AI as we know it was unethically developed and is more marketing than solution.

Trans rights are human rights. Even more, gender is a spectrum, so everyone really, is a tiny bit trans.

Fuck Israel.

Punch fascists.

Instant nudeln eignen gut für MaiMais

It is very left, sometimes infuriatingly so when the people here defend autocratic countries such as Iran.

Lemmy prefers Star Trek over Star Wars.

Lemmy is not neurotypical and it shows up with various discussions. Discussions here tend to assume autism or AuDHD as typical behavior, when it is only typical for the group of people assembled here.

• anti religion.
• full of leftists or liberals
• people are more concious about their personal data.

IMHO Lemmy feels similar to how Reddit felt 10-15 years ago. The community seems closer to my age. The population is smaller. The content is less formulaic.

The biases shown here feel like a distillation of the broader internet (similar to what Reddit used to be). We like animals and nature, we hate intrusive powerful forces like large corporations or invasive governments. We share a shit-post-y sense of humor. We tend to lean left politically. We love to feel like we know more than we actually do.

On any given subject, if you ask “What would the internet think about this?” you will probably find that same opinion reflected strongly here.

I've run into:

• Pro-liberalism
• Pro-LGBTQ+
• Pro-Linux
• Pro-Communism/Socialism
• Pro-Agnostic
• Pro-Indie(movie and video games)
• Pro-Body Autonomy
• PC Master Race

World == USA

Incredible US bias here to the point where many discussions completely ignore the existence of the rest of the world.

Lemmy is actually worse than reddit here. The only network that at least tries to be cosmopolitan is Mastodon and that's why it just feels so much healthier there.

This probably sounds like a dodge of an answer, but...

It depends on the Lemmy instance. Some are anarchistic, some are very left wing anti-establishment, some are hardcore tankies, and I've heard somewhere there's a right-wing instance? Some hate certain technologies, some love those technologies, etc.

I don't think it's realistic to lump all Lemmy instances (and users) together under a single ideological umbrella. That's like lumping everyone from America or any other county together for their opinions.

Clearly a severe leftist bias. Not just in the context of US politics.

Thinking we're better than everyone who's still on Reddit

All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

Nintendo is worse than EA, Activision, Konami, Ubisoft, Epic, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Nestle, and the IDF combined.

There may be some things they do that annoy me, but there also a lot of things they do that I like, and I don't think they're anywhere near the worst in the industry right now. It is just so very tiring that it is seemingly impossible to discuss anything related to Nintendo at all without threads immediately devolving into a circlejerk about how much some of y'all hate anyone who dares to even enjoy their games.

Linux/SteamDeck = Good Anything else = bad

Porn games should be available for all, but GOG sucks because they did something shitty years ago.

The only thing worse than a right winger is the wrong kind of leftist. (I feel this is a global thing not only US)

I haven't seen much Zionist propaganda here (unlike major subreddits, for example) and, when it is posted, it's e-boo'd with downvotes. 👍

Since the rules preclude it, we can't discuss what Lemmy is most biased about. The remaining biases tend to be in the tech/nerdcore genre, which makes sense, since many average Joe users have problems navigating the registration/instance selection process, keeping their numbers down on the platform.

For as politically Left as Lemmy tends to run there still seems to be a high level of mysoginy.

In no particular order: Anticapitalist, pro LGBT+, lots of stoners, most users from Americas and Western/Central Europe, lots of computer nerds, some anarchs, some tankies, anti religion

Honestly similar to leftist parts of Reddit BUT with the voice of reason usually coming out on top in the comments. That means in comparison it's less alarmist, less extreme in general and just more nuanced.

One topic that I think is a blind spot is the anti religion part. Many users don't distinguish between anti religion and anti spirituality, the latter frankly being none of their business. It's oddly accepted to be aggressively atheist here. Another blind spot is the prevalent defeatism. It's not everyone but I don't think people are aware of what they're doing to their own mind when they only focus on bad news all day.

Two things that I haven't seen yet.

• Much higher general tech and math/stats literacy than other spaces on the internet

• An overwhelming hatred for Nintendo when most of the rest of the internet swallows their boot in order to play their new games because let's face it, they make some of the most well-polished 3D platformers.

The hivemind has a doublethink of "Guns are bad, police should be allowed to confiscate them" and simultaneously "Abolish the police".

Also, purity testing. The Lemmy hivemind has decreed that: if you haven't committed an assassination against a dictator, you're not a leftist, you're complicit, and you deserve to be oppressed.
