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.

Lemmy is more centrist than Reddit
(other than the usual issues) Reddit was hated by the general populace because it was too right wing and it was hated by right-wingers for not being right wing enough
Lemmy is still new and hasn’t gained a large population as of yet, but it’s already still far more representative than Reddit ever was
Centrism is the only fallacy I call out. Its completely meaningless even with context
This is it. The US has gone so far right that centrism seems left wing. I have been generally comfortable with the tone of the conversation in the fediverse. Occasionally, I’d like to pull the conversations further left. I’ve been peeved or mildly disappointed, but never actually enraged or flabbergasted. Conversations have been pleasant and reasonable, even when I disagree with what’s being said. It’s been pleasant.
More centrist???
Lemmy is like a boiling pot of full-on tankie authoritarians. Reddit is only slightly less left than that but you still get autobanned from major subs for simply commenting somewhere deemed right-wing.
This reads like you never even visited Reddit.
This reads like you never visited any instance other than lemmygrad.ml.
They literally can’t shitjustworks blocks lemmygrad
I mean, good point actually. It’s very possible the issue is the instance I’m logged into. I switched around the time lemmy.world was hacked. But .world honestly felt the same as sh.itjust.works. Never fails that I login and the very first thing I see is some communist circlejerk with tons of upvotes.
I’m on .world and I very rarely see anything communism-related. But I mostly browse Subscribed rather than Local or All.
I browse all on lemmy.world and in a few days when I scroll to the third page or so there’s suddenly a bunch of lemmygrad stuff. But it used to be every day and at the bottom of the first page.
Certainly something to do with the amount of content available in general.
I have seen way, way more people crying about tankies than I have seen people advocating for Stalinism.
