I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

Nobody says shit like "communists want community" or "egalitarians love eagles." But that's constantly happening for conservatism. People will bend over backwards making up what reeeeal conservatives must surely want... in complete denial of what the visible super-duper-majority of self-identified conservatives actually say and do.

I've heard stuff like "communists want community", but perhaps we are in different social environments. I will agree though that the manipulation of some terms might be more extreme than others.
