Being completely serious as a former-leftist liberal, this may be among the most extreme left social platforms on the mainstream internet

How does it compare to stuff like Reddit or sub stack? Not on either but always heard they’re similarly left. Also what do you consider yourself politically? Like since no longer considering yourself leftist-liberal

Yikyak is further left, easy. Reddit has its far-left pockets but the whole platform isn’t like that when it comes to politics. On yikyak it’s the vast majority

Huh that is kinda weird. Wonder if Reddit is much older on average? I feel like young people who are politically active and conservative don’t actually enjoy talking about politics like young leftist do

definitely is, probably by at least 15 years median. It’s mostly millennials and a sizable chunk of gen x (and even older)
