I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    There’s been tons of right-leaning Reddit alternatives before, but they always quickly devolved into Nazi spaces.

    Lemmy was the first one that I’m aware of, which told Nazis to fuck off right from the beginning.

      Unfettered echo chamber of right wing ideals will always devolve into fascist authoritarian and nazism

        Surprise surprise, echo chambers devolve into more extreme versions of the original views

        That’s literally just how echo works

      That’s the important bit. The creators of Lemmy needed to be hard leftist to keep it from being taken over by right wingers before it could become popular. Now it’s big enough that the community isn’t as leftist as the creators, but will still reject turning into another voat.
