Reddit is overwhelmingly left-leaning. Take one look at default subs like news, politics, worldnews to confirm.
Any time someone posts core right-wing views like anti-abortion sentiment or even support of homeschooling, they're downvoted into the ground. Atheism is a default sub. Opponents of gun control are downvoted. etc.
Tumblr is alt-left. A different beast entirely.

No they're not. > Atheism is a default sub. Reddit got rid of default subs years ago. > Opponents of gun control are downvoted. No they're not. Not to mention, none of this is "left-leaning". Maybe in the SV bubble, it is, but not in the real world.
- kuzehanka 7y ago> Reddit got rid of default subs years ago. The only thing in your entire comment that's not opinion and the only thing worth answering for the rest of the readers. Despite there no longer being default subs, most of the userbase is still subscribed to default subs. Which drives activity to them. Which causes new users to subscribe to them. The top 10 subreddits by activity are: askreddit, politics, funny, pics, awww, worldnews, todayilearned, relationship_advice, amitheasshole, memes. 8 of them were defaults. This isn't going to change any time soon as there's a positive feedback loop perpetuating it.

- xtiansimon 7y ago@kuzehanka, Well. Well. Seems like your natural language research is undermined by your controversial view of your training sources. Gonna have to start over or create a loony alt-x twitter bot.
