As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive: (lemmy.world)

A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.

This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.

So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-

It too, was locked.

I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.

Sooooo… welcome new friends!

Bigot Reddit mods? I cannot believe this.

But chuds told me Reddit was "too far-left", because they weren't complete bigots, and don't allow networked harassment and doxing.

I still lurk some of the drama entertainment subs like AITA and relationship advice and there's still a strong left lean on those subs. Posts on the lines of "AITA for ending personal relationships with Trump supporters" aren't rare while I don't recall seeing any from the other side (though there have been some that avoid mentioning anything more than "political differences" and keep the specifics vague and might be from the other side, but the fact that this is the closest says enough on its own).

Comments that support Trump get downvoted, though more neutral "voice of reason" style comments can do ok.

Lots of AI posts, though. It's been going from a Jerry Springer kind of vibe to more of a Jerry Seinfeld vibe, where it's sometimes still entertaining but mostly made up.

Reddit is so big that it encapsulates everyone. You'll find far left. You'll find far right. You'll find a few people who somehow missed the joke, and think birds not being real is an actual conspiracy.

My point is, you can't say "reddit is _____", because they have 500 million monthly users.

Even Lemmy, which is a fraction of the size, has far right people here.
