Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I’d go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)
I’m not sure what your experience was, but yeah it’s pretty damn left leaning. However Lemmy is on another level. I never heard of the expression tankie before, until I came to Lemmy. Now I see that label being thrown around all over the place.
Im all about seizing the means of production for the proletariat and giving freedoms, equality, and justice to the working class and minorities, but people here are more about just transferring power to government bureaucrats and casting out anyone who isn’t some die hard communist that will parrot anything for the state.
I don’t even really want to tell people to come to Lemmy because of how much of a bubble/circlejerk Lemmy is in half the time.

I agree with you there. I consider myself a fairly liberal person, but man, Lemmy can be on another level sometimes.
You thought Reddit was left leaning?

I had the opposite experience.
I imagine the subs you frequent are the determining factor in left v right then lemmy v Reddit.
