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.

    Conservative trolls are by and large generally stupider than Liberals, and can’t figure out how to onboard the Fediverse yet, which is great

      It’s funny how people think both this and states 4chan has always been rightwing since 2000s. The truth is your political bias says nothing about your intelligence. Stating otherwise just looks like boosting one’s ego to me.

      Also the reason you don’t see right wing opinions on Lemmy is probably by and large because the right wing instances are being defederated by larger left-leaning Lemmy instances. Not saying if thats wrong, but that’s just how it is.

        I’m liberal but yeah it’s hilarious to see all these fucking idiots lumping together entire groups based on a political view.

          Well said. Never underestimate someone’s ability to be stupid based upon their politics. It’s how we end up with absolute idiots in office.

        There’s nothing Reddit about it- some things are just universally true.

          I’m liberal. Non techy. The week of the blackout i googled ‘Reddit alternatives’, clicked a few buttons, made a name and password, and that was it. I don’t get why so many fedders think it’s too difficult for others. It’s a hell of a lot easier than Pinterest. I still don’t get that shit.

            If you consider reality to be an echo chamber, I guess. But I think a better definition of an echo chamber would be all of the conservative based subs that churn out the same provenly false bullshit over and over.
