Reddit is main-stream, so should be (and is) mostly centered. Lemmy is more niche and while it has some far right people, it overall leans left.

    Lemmy is more niche and ... overall leans left.

    Like Reddit used to be in the good days.

    yucky, incels. where did they fled here? they probably were on instagram, facebook. one of the favorite refuges when someone is confronted about thier behavior on reddit they flee to facebook, where they can unilaterally delete messages,, admin controls(when a community or a fan of a person/youtube channel).

    i forgot the channel name, but i think finebros were confronted on reddits AMA about thier shilling for a company. they fled to facebook where they can have thier echochamber.

    that was prior to trumps 1st term, remember the subreddit apocalypse they started banning alot of subs that were "problematic", it was just placating the GOP and trump who are obsessed with online censorhsip at a time, which was convenient distraction from thier "1st tax cuts". thats when people were getting significant amount of bans around that time. i was there when r/conspiracy wasnt even political, just your usual conspiracies that have been talked about, that doesnt involved trump, or dems.

    before the anti-vax madness of covid, that sub pre-pandemic allowed you to somewhat convince people who are hesitant of vaccines.
