I mean yea it censors more right wing stuff because it’s usually racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, ect.

I have no idea but would be very interested to learn why. At a base level right-wingers are less likely to use it simply because there’s so many leftists. But the question then becomes “why are there so many leftists on here?”. I feel like it ultimately comes down to the same reasons reddit leans left and why twitter used to lean left. Something to consider is most right-leaning platforms have a popular right-wing personality endorsing the platform, like the rebranding of twitter to X

I go to school in a swing state and I don’t know anyone in your life that actually thinks the way the people think here….. even if they lean left

People will articulate their opinions different online rather than in person (usually will be meaner) and this is aggregating people from many colleges across the United States. I would assume the positive reinforcement of left wing opinions from the left wing majority also plays a role.
