I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

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.

It is possible. My childhood wasn't without trauma, but I've never had PTSD. My parents taught me to question rules and edicts from on-high. When I would do so with my parents, they were almost always able to articulate reasons why we did things one way and not another. When I did so with friends' parents, some teachers, and most other adults, I got abusive bullshit spewed at me till I submitted to their defacto authority.

My parents were safe, but authority figures in general could not and should not be trusted.
