Reddit was leftist not long ago. Not really leftist, just a bit left leaning. In my communities that changed drastically from 2020 and on. When I stopped using it a couple of months ago, my favourite subs were already mainly right wing.

Leftist is a stupid term used by Americans with no clue about politics.

How much of a 14 year old do you have to be to take time out of your day to post this shit? Get a fucking life.

What do they mean by "too extreme"? Too left?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Yes, to them Lemmy is extremely left.

Reddit and other places on the internet are so far right when you say things like ‘I don’t think poor people should starve to death’ you’re looked at as a leftist.

They get shocked when you tell them capitalism is a terrible idea and their precious freedom of speech can get fucked when it’s used to protect literal Nazis.

I've never seen someone on Reddit or in real life suggest that capitalism is good or that freedom of speech should protect nazism hate speech. Most people would also hold that very opinion that nobody should ever starve and that they should be protected by some social economic safety net.

I'm just here for the endless sea of capitalism stans screeching "it's been tried" like the entire western world hasn't put their boot on the neck of any alternative every time.

Lol lemmy is just as corrupt as reddit. I've seen so many agendas on both sides pushed lately it's hilarious you think this is only leftys.
