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.

    Hard disagree, they’re here and able to operate relatively freely with no central admin fighting disinformation.

      Unfortunately you’re probably right

        It’s a bummer. I love the idea of the Fediverse but it’s having some propaganda growing pains.
