Like, if I take a single user that I consider to exemplify each? Yes, the lemming will be left, socially and economically, of the redditor.
If we take a statistical average of each? The lemmy average will be screamingly farther left of the reddit average.
If we exclude bots and take the averages of only human users of each? Farther apart than the first but not nearly as far apart as the the second.
What am I basing this on? Multiple years of modding one of the larger not-explicity-political subs and also two explicitly political subs. So, vibes, basically, but lots of them over a long time.
Id agree. I spent around a decade on reddit and only about a month here. I think a big part of it is just the smaller user base on Lemmy. I’m personally a liberal but not a far left one. Noticing a particularly strong tilt here.
