They don’t need that fancy book learnin’.
Reddit is freely available to anyone with an uncensored internet connection and an email address. Wouldn’t the assertation that Reddit is left leaning also mean the free world is left leaning?
Beautiful
Reddit favours the literate, but unfortunately, it’s an equal-opportunity roast zone.
reddit was literally created by 2 left leaning kids with autism(spectrum to mild). And for 6 years it was a bastion of liberal views. Then some fuggery went down in 2012 and it got flooded with right-wing views and trolls. Hmm what went down in 2011 with reddit… something something sold to Advance Publications… no coincidence I’m sure.
why do righties always demand safe space hug boxes on every site? very snowflake behavior imo
It isn’t really that left leaning. It just seems that way to a lot of users because the US (where the most users are from) leans pretty far to the right.
No hate but isn’t 4chan also text flavor site?
I mean it’s a fun answer but not factual. Reddit is a left leaning because left leaning people happened to visit Reddit naturally. We, left leaning, people find comfort here. It’s kind of Reddit’s identity at this point.
Hahah
LOL!!
So true. TikTok is for non readers.
There are actually plenty of right leaning people on reddit, they’re just hiding in the NSFW subs.
That’s not just a murder, this is butchering!!!!! ..lmao
The actual reason is that the average user is younger than other social media sites, only 24 years old. Younger people tend to be more left-leaning, even now when there are signs of young men moving toward the right. In this last election for example, the youngest age group voted most for Kamala.
Savage burn. Love it.
Not noticing the blue areas are where the most educated people are is a thing that they have to know and just don’t want to admit. Which I think is the case of what most of them are going through. Too stubborn to admit “maybe I was wrong” instead of thinking the rest of the world is wrong.
Phenomenal
Seriously!
Reddit is basically the only form of social media that uses an upvote system vs a live feed for posts and comments. Live feeds are great for “free speech”, but bad for the truth. On Reddit intelligent, source cited, nuanced, and informative posts can rise to the top. Knuckle dragging, hate fueled, bottom of the societal barrel trash plunges to the bottom. If Reddit feels left-leaning it’s because people who might actually know what they’re talking about and/or bring receipts are being somewhat listened to. Which must be a really perplexing experience for MAGA when they step away from the Fox News propaganda machine.
It has anonymity, not as a feature but as a requirement. It’s not a great platform for personal branding and promotion. All content is voted positively or negatively, allowing for merit based positioning. As a result, you’re left with a system that actually favours the informed and educated.
God do I miss the non-political (mostly) posts. XD
Reddit is a haven for people that traditional society rejected. It’s full of burnouts and “former gifted kids” who are mad at the world. It’s why Reddit is still so vehemently anti-religious, anti-conservative.
Whether you like that or not is up to you.
