Because Lemmy.ml is federated with anti-leftist instances like Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca. Lemmy.ml has a weird mix of very pro-Leftist posters and very anti-Leftist commenters because of this, people tend to post more on their own instances but often times scroll by all for commenting.

More self-sufficient Leftist instances like Hexbear or Lemmygrad don't see the same circumstances.

Why are liberals on a decentralized platform anyway? Surely the free market has provided adequate platforms for everyone's needs

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

The Liberals on instances like Lemmy.world are too ideological to stay on Reddit, but have read no Marxist Theory and have not correctly identified the reasons why Reddit went wrong, and was always destined to go wrong. If they were Leftists, they would join an instance that doesn't defederate with Leftists as policy.

That's why Lemmy.world is just Reddit 2.

While I basically agree with this, I would argue there may be some liberals who just haven't been exposed to actual communism/been too heavily propagandized and seeing the discourse on very left instances could gain some supporters. I guess this specific post comment section is maybe a bad example, but I would venture a guess most leftists were liberals once

This is the case for the great majority of us socialists on Lemmy, yes.
