MODERATORS
Tankies made the software.
Conservatives left Reddit after The Donald got banned, and the bulk of the users on Lemmy came from Reddit.
Libertarians are busy arguing over New Hampshire's twitter.
I don't really see the link between these three points.
Could you elaborate?
If there were a lot more conservatives or libertarians, the OP might not think there are a lot of communist posters here. Because there are a lot of left leaning people here who upvote anti-capitalist posts and comments, it is easy for the OP to reach the conclusion that there are a lot of communists. My three points explain 1) why the platform was already predisposed towards leftist thought in general, 2 and 3) why there are not a lot of right leaning ideas to balance out the ratio.
