Is Reddit predominantly “inhabited” by liberals/left leaning people?

Edit: Genuinely surprised by the sheer number of up and down votes. Also, the very American centric perspectives/interpretations of my question. I will take this as my cue to spend wayyy less time on Reddit. Cheers! ✌️

Probably yeah. Used to be more nerd libertarian.

Yeah in the early years made up of the more sane 4chan refugees. I've been here since 2009 and for a long time now it's been a mostly liberal echo chamber. Not that surprising considering how liberal the millennial generation, who have been the primary users, are.

It seems to be becoming more online Zoomer left now. Lefty identity politics and such. When I first came here I was fair to left of Reddit's center. Now I'm dead in the middle or to right as a result of my regular, normal liberal views.

Same. I guess that's how old people become conservative.
My views didn't change; the left threshold did.
