I've noticed lemmy seems to be far more left leaning than reddit
And Reddit is already pretty left leaning, on the whole.
like to the point of being pro communism for some reason
It doesn't help that the devs unironically refer to themselves as tankies.
I mean, it's not a huge deal because, y'know, it's a federated service - but you could probably partially attribute the early population's leanings to that.
You’re on Lemmy.ml rn lol
haha couldn't be me
You’d have to qualify that statement…. Left leaning according to which countries’ politics?
In the states for example, the democrat politicians are actually right of center.
If you are calling right of center, “left leaning” then I could possibly agree with you. But I don’t think you are saying what you think you’re saying.
