Depends where you look. I also have no idea whats that ‘general Internet’ you mention. I mean, what are its biases?
Clearly a severe leftist bias. Not just in the context of US politics.
It’s not a bias if you’re right
correct, but I hope you(or anyone else) deeply reflected on limitations of your ideology
No, we’re left, please pay attention 🙃
I’ll go first.
- I think there is a strong pro-Linux bias. It wouldn’t surprise me if 40+% use it on here.
- People from the US seem over-represented, but less so compared to Reddit
- There is a far stronger anti-capitalist sentiment on here than other social media
- The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.
I’ll add:
- AI bad
- Piracy ok
- Political posts are more frequent (Bias towards political expression)
- More tech enthusiasts
“AI bad” overrides “Piracy ok”, though. I’ve seen threads in the main piracy community where the general consensus seemed to be that copyright should be used as a weapon against AI.
People before profit.
Cities should be walkable
AI as we know it was unethically developed and is more marketing than solution.
Trans rights are human rights. Even more, gender is a spectrum, so everyone really, is a tiny bit trans.
Fuck Israel.
Punch fascists.

American bias, millennial bias, left wing bias
Thinking we’re better than everyone who’s still on Reddit
It’s not bias if you’re right
