- polygamous_bat 4y agoTwitter is (or was) filled with young, affluent, highly educated (at least college graduate) city dwellers. By any metric that's a demographics that leans heavily left. How is that a surprise that Twitter was straight left?
- noahtallen 4y agoBecause tech workers aren’t always straight left. HN is a fantastic example — it leans much more right than a lot of other internet forums. Partly just because entrepreneurship means you have to get along with capitalism at some level. Saying this as someone who is progressive. It’s definitely a relatively progressive field, but maybe not as much as you’d think!
