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.

It really did start as an underground commie circlejerk, luckily it’s gotten a lot better with lemmygrad and lemmy.ml dead in the water.
“the Fediverse was born as a misinformation shithole”
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner.
Theres no way the devs made this whole place with the intention of free speech, no, those kids most likely wanted their own echochamber to roleplay as soviet comrades cuz its deffinetly not a face mom!!
But thats watever since they can stay in their echomaber while we leech from their work right?.. right?..
Honestly? Yes. I don’t think I share any of the far leftist ideas the Lemmy devs seem to have but you gotta recognize their worth.
Yes, they built this place for freedom of speech. Despite the devs being communists you could easily spin up your own instance and gather there fascists or anarchists or whoever you feel like. Hell it’s all open source, you can even fork it an add any feature you like. The software might not be too robust, but this platform really is great and we should recognize it for what it is.
I wouldnt concider their political leaning being leftist, since hard soviet communism/maoism is tyranic and goes all the way around to being fascist since they are masters of banning shit with some being as r3t4rd3d as banning abstract art, so i would say they are right leaning. And concidering myself socialist i feel insulted by grouping tankies with me, so thats why i think the better term for them is tankies.
I’m sorry am I reading this right? Are you saying that communism is a right wing ideology?
In practice it is, or maybe those that claim commumism are actually liers and just tyrants, you cant really say the great leap foward in china was a leftist move right? Juat because they say comunism doesnt mean they are not autoritarian and autoritarianism isnt very leftist in my book.
I like having mass manufactured cars, even though Henry Ford hated the Jewish people. The tech is good, we can ignore the inventors and engineers.
