Yes. The average reddit user NOW is further right than the average reddit user before the start of lemmy. Different people. The most left ones are with lemmy now.
Lemmy didn’t but reddit marketing campaign, and new front page algorithm drew a new public. Sure they banned the totally not nazi edge lord and Trump hardcore far, but they attracted the I don’t care about politic, vote for a personality but never left public too which you add the hordes of pro Russia/Israel troll/bots at the point the world news sub is unreadable
Only western far right subs are quelled. Indian right wing subreddits literally openly talk about lebonsbrauming my country and taking our land. Saw an open discourse on a random Indian sub of a dude saying they should give the “Felani treatment” to Bangladeshis. Felani was a 15 year old child shot by Indian border guard btw.
Just now saw a bullshit infographic on r/mapporn showing “islamization” of Bangladesh when its quite literally population increase. East Bengal had been Muslim majority since the British and the partition led to many minorities leaving. I wont make excuses for religious fundamentalists in my country but religious fundamentalism is a topic where INDIAN RIGHT WINGERS shouldn’t lecture anyone. Of course this is without even delving into their mass propaganda campaign about every sigle facet of my cojntr started from the genocide WE FACED in 1971(chaddis somehow victimize themselves in a genocide we faced) and everything else.
Westerners upvote it blindly because they too are mostly islamophobic, liberals included.
Sorry for this random rant, Reddit is very very right-wing. You just are not familiar with the spaces that are.
World News specifically went bad but I don’t find Reddit as a while has changed. It’s still more left leaning, albeit it’s a large diverse platform where you can find almost any view.
But I mean on my local subreddit I got shouted down for criticizing Lenin so it’s still pretty left lol.
When I stooped to check out the r/conservative subreddit after Kirk’s murder, it amused me how many of it’s denizens were bemoaning how bad ‘redditors’ were, as if they weren’t also on reddit.
I don’t go to reddit very much any more. 'Tis a silly place.
and they are also in the most exclusive echo chamber on reddit too. they tried to branch out with disengenious "both sides " subs, but i dont think it can match r/conservative and r/conspiracy, since they are the cesspools for other the banned right wing subs. i have never seen an exclusive “left leaning sub” on the site, that wasnt astroturfed by right wingers. city/states specific subs are taken over by right wingers or tankies to the specific location.(tankies as in supporting the way the govt in that city is behaviing)
It probably has something to do with the type of crowd that reddit promotes. More controversial takes probably get boosted more because they draw more eyes for more time. They’re trying to copy Meta.
Oh yea, I see a lot of anti-Muslim anti-Indian sentiments when it comes to immigration. I also saw anti-Chinese sentinments, as in actual Sinophobia, and not merely just anti-CCP/anti-PRC, and as someone who’s ethnic Chinese, I feel very uncomfortable with reddit.
there is still some on the left, but it seems like its just for appearances by reddit, they allow enough to look fair, while they allow right wing propaganda to astroturf the comments of any subs to hell.

I don’t think Lemmy is large enough to have had a noticeable impact on the makeup of Reddit.
I would not say that it is only lemmy. Reddit itself has changed, and that’s why I think there are different people there.
Not even some moisturiser?

What about with rice?
reddit heavily allows astroturfing and banning from the “left” more than the right.

also because they banned or astroturfed to hell. right wing propaganda is very popular for the masses, and creates content.
because we all got banned from reddit for having controversial political views.
That’s an interesting take. I would have thought that reddit trended left previously and just shifted further left over time.
I am seeing open racism more than ever on reddit.

its alot things being called “woke”, whataboutism,etc. the bots trying to disguise it as a both sides issue mos tof the time.

coincides with the recent tariffs, and h1b visa issues, no doubt. which is likely being pushed by palintir, Israeli and russia.
People are so easily swayed by hate that’s marketed towards them.
Anti-Indian has been such a recent phenomenon. Indians were a model minority only a few years ago. Lol. “Look at them! Why can’t you be like them!”
And don’t you dare compliment any chinese military gear on defence subreddits.
Even with muslims - It’s been recent, more in the past 30 years than ever before.
Fucking losers. Dunk on others to feel better about their own pathetic lives.
