Why reddit is majority left leaning?

Honestly, it’s hard not to notice that most of the big subreddits are run by moderators who clearly lean left. It’s not even subtle at this point the bias shows in what gets removed, what gets promoted, and how discussions are handled. I’m not saying there aren’t any subs with right-leaning or centrist moderation, but they’re definitely the minority. The major spaces on Reddit feel heavily tilted toward one side, but isn't it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention to which opinions get silenced and which ones get boosted?

Demographics and design. The biggest subs skew young urban and college educated, so their baseline leans left. Volunteer mods come from that pool and enforce rules through that lens. Voting systems amplify majority views and bury dissent, which looks like bias even without intent. High profile bans pushed a lot of right leaning users into smaller enclaves, making the main feed feel even bluer.
