Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?
Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?
I can't say I've been using Lemmy for long, but from the get-go it seems that the communities, memes, opinions that get upvoted seem to reflect left-wing ideas.
I'm certainly not complaining, it honestly feels like a breathe of fresh air compared to other social media sites that seem to shift further and further to the far right, though I am curious to hear why this might be the case? Does FOSS tend to attract more left-wing minded people, or does this just happen to be a broadly left-wing microcosm/bubble?
Hope you all have a great day.

lemmygrad and .ml are far from being anarchocommunist. They are authoritarian as hell.
Tankies made anarchists face the wall, never forget

Generally speaking, the statement "Tankies made the X face the wall" is true for all X. Anarchists, monarchists, fascists, capitalists, Mensheviks, Jews, Doctors, poets, authors, musicians, peasants, soldiers, factory workers, Marxists, Bolsheviks, wives and children of all of the above, and eventually even Stalinists.
The tankies sure are a contentious people
Depends on the server you’re on. Lemmy found popularity when a group of communists had their subreddit(s)banned
That's actually part of the reason why the original devs started Lemmy.
