The ones I encounter certainly. I don't hang out on Reddit anymore, but I have had a glance now and again and one of the more noticable things are that my own national subreddit there are a lot of right wing/alt right viewpoints loudly touted. In the posts I encounter on lemmy, at least in the sphere I am a part of, it is much more of a leftist general vibe. I don't mind too much.
While echo chambers are not great, it is quite refreshing to have a break from the hate. Or at least have the hate directed in a way I am more comfortable with, I guess.
thats in alot of "location subs" they are taken over by right wingers. i avoid my blue area sub, because its the tankies of the area, or its a right winger.
Nuance has gone out of the window over on Reddit. Everything is black and white now there are no shades of grey and there's no context. Which of course is the right loves, they never like actually thinking about their world views.
