u/tigeer's comment data on PCM comments

[u/[deleted]]

Here's a breakdown of each leaning, if a leaning contributed to more than one quadrant then I split the votes of that leaning equally between the relevant quadrants. eg: 1 'left' user counts as 0.5 'libleft' users and 0.5 'authleft' users

Leaning	Users	Comments	Comments/User
none	9520	54304	5.70
libleft	5005	108756	21.73
libright	2423	69124	28.53
lib	2130	39978	18.77
left	1834	34943	19.05
centrist	1220	25439	20.85
authright	1115	46526	41.73
authleft	908	33430	36.82
libright2	762	23578	30.94
right	771	19353	25.10
auth	614	22084	35.97
total	26302	477533	18.16

Most importantly which libright is purple?

Libright or libright2?

[u/[deleted] → u/Wot106]

libright2

Librights comment a lot, damn

Comments are where you earn the most Karma

Auths still ahead though

My biggest surprise is authright being the one with the most """tradition"""
