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.
tankies created lemmy to share with all leftists and it started moving to the right in the last wave of reddit changes.
Is that the case? I know tankies are behind Lemmy, but did they explicitly create it with the purpose of being shared with leftists?
They made it to do a praxis
Sometimes that’s making a FOSS project, which shouldn’t need an explanation besides the definition for why leftists would like it.
Sometimes that’s so you can yell at shitlibs for being shit at being liberals. That’s the fun part.
