I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm not surprised that people who reject a platform with centralized authority for shifting to "deliver value to shareholders" mode would be more leftist.
I was expecting more libertarians.
Libertarians can be both Left or Right, Libertarianism is just the opposite of Authoritarianism. Left/Right just indicates economic policy.
People often treat it as "Conservative that likes weed and doesn't want to be called one"
I agree (for the most part). I still don't see a lot of them around on either side. But you might be right in that I was expecting more right wing libertarians as well.
I consider myself left libertarian btw.
Honestly, it might offend "leftist" principles more, but it's an awful experience for anyone using it. I don't think even the hardest line Trump supporters are trying to use the official reddit app.
