I was thinking this but it is a recent thing due to reddit banning subs and many of them coming here. gender critical being one of them but they were banned for being too rw in terms of thinking trannies are not women! Though other than that view they are lw and support gay and lesbian rights. Well I think just wanting things to be 50/50 just cuz that would be nice is not going to work out. I think these things have to happen organically. People come to saidit for a reason and that main reason is getting banned, or their favorite subs getting banned, from reddit. Which one tend to get banned. Leftwingers do get banned from reddit too, in the past in 2016 people that didn't like hillary, and wanted Bernie, because they thought Hillary was too rw got banned. You can be far left on reddit but not on economics and you have to support the democratic party. There's just not many folks like that left on reddit so that kind of exodus is probably not coming to saidit. Super far leftwing economic people were on the sub chapotraphouse, that was banned, I'm not sure where they went, seems like nowhere and it just dissolved. Kind of lonely on the internet for a true liberal nowadays.

Right I should of clarified that reddit was only good for neoliberals with progressives and people further left being pushed out of the mix. Hopefully that changes here

just not sure if they ever will since they are not on reddit now so cannot be banned from reddit in the future. I might be wrong. As we get closer to the election maybe more of a mass banning will happen. Sometimes BLM people seem to do things like criticize Israel or suggest they want leftwing economic reforms, so they might get banned off of reddit. They might look into how Biden touches kids in a metoo style criticism, that might get them banned too. Then they might come here.

I know what you mean, so I think they might be being careful and censoring themselves on reddit now
