I'm asking because I wonder if Lemmy having a left wing, progressive, socialist, communist bent means Reddit was coming down hard on those ideologies (biased if you will) than right leaning, centrist or free market Capitalist ideologies?

Side question, if Lemmy grows do you think the same will happen here?

I've always hated the left/right "spectrum". Politics and philosophy are highly multidimensional, reducing it to a single line - or, these days, a pure binary value - hopelessly oversimplifies the issue.

    Yeah, and it's not immutable, or even the same from country to country.

    The funny thing is, it still seems to accurately predict the political preferences a random person will have in a specific place pretty well. Third legs like libertarianism exist, but they never seem to gain much momentum, or last long. (Libertarianism, for example seems to be dying out right now)

    I guess a line is the shape that allows everyone to agree on as much as possible, while still having someone around to oppose.
