[x] Doubt
Well the ‘clown’ part of the site name is certainly accurate.
That’s the neat part, it isn’t.
It is trending right-wing at the speed of sound; they’re perma-banning left-leaning users at whim.
I got banned for saying marines being deployed against US citizens is illegal. Apparently that was too anti-fascist for them.
The absolute irony of posting this on lemmy
Yeah, Reddit is way closer to center than Lemmy is lol.
Thats not to say that Reddit isn’t also Left Leaning, just that Lemmy leans Left way more than Reddit.
who is the centermost centrist from your pov? left and right means nothing without reference points. It’s like saying cold and hot instead of using specific temperatures like boiling point and freezing point.
And this is without saying that left-right is a 1D projection of a sum of positions in many dimensions.
Clownfish
opinion discarded
“People downvoted my opinion and I didn’t like it. Here is why I do not deserve the downvotes and the website actually just targets me and my opinions only, and how it is actually Obama and Millenials fault”
It was at first. Then it was bought
I don’t think Reddit is either super left or right, it’s just radical. Every opinion stated on the platform is always taken to the absolute extreme, but I would say only a select few popular subs like r/unpopularopinion tend to lean left, but then again I would even argue that they are more libertarian or anarchist if anything
If you aren’t on the left you’re essentially a palace guard.
Liberalism is centre right ideology and people are interchangeably using it with the left in big 25
Yikes
Left and right is a false dichotomy used to divide the masses.
The difference is somewhere else: two coordinates. Ignorance and human rights. If you’re ignorant, you may not know, which still makes you a fool by now.
If you know and dont care for human rights (and animal rights further along but thats a future debate), you’re just a monster.
People who dont know about men in ukraine being forced to die for land ownership, who dont know about thousands starving to death on besieged palestine. They’re foolishly ignorant.
But those who know, those who are okay with countless innocents being massacred, those are not humans in my book.
Maybe I’m strange but I enjoy reading lots of posted articles even if the headline conflicts with my personal view point/s. Many times you can actually get a better understanding of the opinions of those who disagree with you. I never reject a source. I prefer to read the article and then respond factually with the reasons I disagree with the posted article. Too often I see “I am rejecting the source” because they have no factual comeback.
