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.
I see a bit of everything on here, but I do like that voicing leftist ideals (not sure about left wing) doesn’t get you shot down immediately from all sides (as it would in a lot of other places).
I imagine that in general leftists exist, but avoid posting in other places due to the abuse they’d receive for doing so.
