I dont think that is the case. Left leaning people are just much less accepting of authority, so there are more likely to move of of reddit. right leaning people also tend to be more conservative, so they are more likely to stay on there old platforms.
People on the "right" are vastly more accepting of authority than people on the left. For example, the people who didn't wear masks were willing to die because Tucker (or whichever right-wing shitgoblin they listen to) told them to. It wasn't some sort of anti-authoritarian expression, it was pure authoritarianism.
