Ask Lemmy

The ones I encounter certainly. I don't hang out on Reddit anymore, but I have had a glance now and again and one of the more noticable things are that my own national subreddit there are a lot of right wing/alt right viewpoints loudly touted. In the posts I encounter on lemmy, at least in the sphere I am a part of, it is much more of a leftist general vibe. I don't mind too much.

While echo chambers are not great, it is quite refreshing to have a break from the hate. Or at least have the hate directed in a way I am more comfortable with, I guess.

Definitely

I'd say there's a wider spectrum on reddit, if only because reddit is so much bigger. Lemmy is mostly center left while reddit goes everywhere.

There’s no question.

if you turn on bots the average lemmy user is a bot

Bots included?

I actually don't think so. Or at least not directly. Because I run into a veritable slew of Hardcore neoliberals as well. I think it's less that there's more leftists and it's more that they're not censored as much here. Sure the world mods will do their best, but they can always just create new accounts in different instances. They're harder to shut down then they were on Reddit.

Course now that I say that I guess that just really means they are further left here because Reddit has moved so far to the right after expunging so many of the leftists. Potato potato.
