Not one particular reason in general, just the site’s atmosphere in general was getting tiresome. Everyone trying to be the funniest person in the room to get the most upvotes. There’s a place for that, and I still use Reddit from time to time, but for learning about current affairs Lemmy is much preferable.

Is that the case? I know tankies are behind Lemmy, but did they explicitly create it with the purpose of being shared with leftists?

I still use reddit from time to time, but I find the stuff i find here is of higher quality and more thoughtful. I would use Lemmy exclusively if it had all of the communities that i frequent on reddit, many of the things on here are tech-related and most things outside of the tech world don’t pop up in my feed. I feel I engage more, use more and actually learn more from Lemmy so overall I am quite impressed!

I can understand Planned Parenthood maybe, heavily disagree, but whatever.

But a children’s hospital? How could that ever be classed as a “political group”?

What a joke.
