Most of Reddit is left-of-center though, and prevailing opinions on Reddit can be pushed pretty forcefully. I don't think it's part of a broader problem of "orthodox leftist thought" but of Reddit being a place like no other for cultivating orthodoxy.

Maybe they found subreddits that were less left-leaning to either be even worse or too inactive.

Are you seriously telling me that there are not areas on Reddit where people like the OP can ... how can I put this politely ... salve themselves with the gentle, safe caress of their desired echo chamber?

I don't buy it.

Maybe not if OP, despite attributing an importance to "leftist orthodoxy" that I think is silly, does take into account factors beyond Good Side or Bad Side. I could imagine someone finding a subreddit that matches their opinions very well, then leaving it because the culture surrounding those opinions is so toxic.
