Well its the same with Lemmy, but the point still remains that Lemmy makes Reddit look like far right extremists but both Lemmy and Reddit are currently predominantly politically left.
You have to remember that the left in america is not in fact left at all. Just that the political spectrum got purged of anything left of full blown capitalism during the red scare, and now “the left” is entirely the same as the right, aside from their social policies.
Both are capitalist, pro deregulated free market money loyalists who have successfully reframed the left vs right question from an economic to a social one, and are perfectly content having the peasants bicker over reproductive rights and immigration, neither of that endangers the capital.
So with this added context, the reddit population is actually predominantly liberal to progressive. Lemmy is definitely more left leaning though, for better or worse (tankies 🤧)
Not everyone on Reddit is from the US, or going to donate.
