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 🤧)
No shit. I got downvoted for calling out a commentor sincerely advocating that biden should use systematic executions of congressional leaders that oppose him, thanks to the new supreme court ruling. It wasnt even the politics forum!
Im not being unreasonable saying that that is a horrible take. way too many people here make me feel like im living in an alternate reality. Im middle left at most, motherfuckers, yalls crazy.
I like lemmy, but there is no middle ground here at the moment. Ill keep calling it out tho.
I would say the Lemmy developer team are saving as much money as possible to pay their own bills by living as efficiently as possible. That there is no money left to contribute to politicians.
While Reddit is definitely majority democrats I don’t buy 99%. There are plenty of conservatives on there. Must be something with how this program unfolded or who donates.
I’d say that Lemmy’s tankies are doing what they can to get Trump elected, regardless of where on the “spectrum” you might place them. Politics isn’t really a simple binary state.
What percentage of “Lemmy” that represents is anybody’s guess.
If Reddit is 99% Democrat, what does that say about Lemmy’s userbase? Because Lemmy makes Reddit look like a platform of far right extremists.
It doesn’t say anything about users. The numbers are political donations made by the company
Not everyone on Reddit is from the US, or going to donate.

Yeah corporate democrats/liberals look extremist in my eyes

It’s about the employees, not the users
Encouraging more people to vote would hurt Republicans. That’s probably why the near 100% democrat number
