    Yes. The average reddit user NOW is further right than the average reddit user before the start of lemmy. Different people. The most left ones are with lemmy now.

      also because they banned or astroturfed to hell. right wing propaganda is very popular for the masses, and creates content.

      That’s an interesting take. I would have thought that reddit trended left previously and just shifted further left over time.

        there is still some on the left, but it seems like its just for appearances by reddit, they allow enough to look fair, while they allow right wing propaganda to astroturf the comments of any subs to hell.
