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.

In their defense, they don't see the authoritarian boot and feel compelled to lick. They see how their hated enemy, normal people, get upset because of that authoritarian boot and in response lick the shit out of it so those normal people feel sad.

Which backfires because we typically don't feel sad and they look like idiots.

It doesn't get much dumber (and easy to manipulate) than to define what you stand for entirelly per opposition to what some other people stand for.

Normal people get over such a form of self-definition somewhere in their teenage years.
