Ah yes the platform notorious for banning users and running a scam upvote system for engagement wants to enlighten us plebs about voting IRL.
The 1% came from Spez
I’ll trash on greedy Steve Huffman any day.
But in this particular case, we really need everyone we can get. If Reddit helps convince more people to vote (for Biden), then so be it.
Not a time to be picky about allies. Not when Trump has a good chance to become effectively the King of the USA.
If Reddit is 99% Democrat, what does that say about Lemmy’s userbase? Because Lemmy makes Reddit look like a platform of far right extremists.
Not everyone on Reddit is from the US, or going to donate.
Well its the same with Lemmy, but the point still remains that Lemmy makes Reddit look like far right extremists but both Lemmy and Reddit are currently predominantly politically left.
Yeah corporate democrats/liberals look extremist in my eyes
You have to remember that the left in america is not in fact left at all. Just that the political spectrum got purged of anything left of full blown capitalism during the red scare, and now “the left” is entirely the same as the right, aside from their social policies.
Both are capitalist, pro deregulated free market money loyalists who have successfully reframed the left vs right question from an economic to a social one, and are perfectly content having the peasants bicker over reproductive rights and immigration, neither of that endangers the capital.
So with this added context, the reddit population is actually predominantly liberal to progressive. Lemmy is definitely more left leaning though, for better or worse (tankies 🤧)
I would say the Lemmy developer team are saving as much money as possible to pay their own bills by living as efficiently as possible. That there is no money left to contribute to politicians.
I’d say that Lemmy’s tankies are doing what they can to get Trump elected, regardless of where on the “spectrum” you might place them. Politics isn’t really a simple binary state.
What percentage of “Lemmy” that represents is anybody’s guess.
That is true nomatter what I said I was banned screw reddit.
