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 was because at the time of the exodus from Reddit somehow the conservatives (echoed on the sub by that name) felt that protests were ridiculous and they were on Reddit’s side. So less likely to be jumping to an alternative.

    Somehow the right has turned into not meeting any authoritarian boot they don’t suddenly feel an urge to lick?

      In their defense, they don’t see the authoritarian boot and feel compelled to lick. They see how their hated enemy, normal people, get upset because of that authoritarian boot and in response lick the shit out of it so those normal people feel sad.

        It doesn’t get much dumber (and easy to manipulate) than to define what you stand for entirelly per opposition to what some other people stand for.

        Normal people get over such a form of self-definition somewhere in their teenage years.
