I dont think that is the case. Left leaning people are just much less accepting of authority, so there are more likely to move of of reddit. right leaning people also tend to be more conservative, so they are more likely to stay on there old platforms.

I’m confused, are we talking about the same people, who during the pandemic, decided whether to follow mask mandates vs those who didn’t. If we’re talking about acceptance of authority, right leaning folks are less likely to do so. However what I do think is that right leaning folks are less likely to care about a company trying to monetize itself through means that could affect it’s users, citing “it’s the cost of business”. those who lean left would more likely oppose this at the cost of their data, privacy, or experience.
