As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive: (self.nomanssky)

A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.

This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.

So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-

It too, was locked.

I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.

Sooooo… welcome new friends!

I still lurk some of the drama entertainment subs like AITA and relationship advice and there's still a strong left lean on those subs. Posts on the lines of "AITA for ending personal relationships with Trump supporters" aren't rare while I don't recall seeing any from the other side (though there have been some that avoid mentioning anything more than "political differences" and keep the specifics vague and might be from the other side, but the fact that this is the closest says enough on its own).

Comments that support Trump get downvoted, though more neutral "voice of reason" style comments can do ok.

Lots of AI posts, though. It's been going from a Jerry Springer kind of vibe to more of a Jerry Seinfeld vibe, where it's sometimes still entertaining but mostly made up.

Maybe there're better examples to argue your point but not being nice to fascists doesn't automatically give a space "a strong left lean." It just makes it not fascist.

That's fair. It could be neoliberal overall, since it does still seem friendly to minorities (at least the drama entertainment subs are, I don't assume the whole site is like that), but economics and politics don't often come up, other than the politics of supporting or opposing Trump.

So I guess it's more accurate to say it's not far right leaning.
