I disagree with what you're implying. FYI, I'm a migrant in Germany, follow dach@feddit.de to practice the language and it's my understanding that most of the posts there are inclined towards progressive or leftist ideals. Also, I chose migrating here instead of the US because it felt like it has less fascists. Of course, that's just my humble world view.

Can't discuss with these people. Anyway, you're right. Feddit is definitely a leftist community which is one of the reasons I'm there. Germany surely has a lot more extreme right wing people which is just sad to see. The media is responsible for big parts of that.
