Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

Thinking like this is why people get surprised when right leaning parties get voted for in elections

Lol right? “Right wing politics only seem popular because of bots”. No, left wing politics only seem popular on social media because old people dont use it, despite making up the majority of many populations, and often times are the only people who actually vote in elections.

Left wing politics are more popular in the real world than they are in real world governments. The thing is that extremely online youth have absolutely no idea of just how far left they are.
