"all code is ideology solidified into action" most codeing pushes right wing agenda, this can often seen in the site T&S and in the content that makes it to the front pages. Am curious how hard coded this is, and how much is soft social use.

Well-written software avoids making assumptions about how it will be used. So, a site can swap out content sorting algorithms to suit its current agenda. But projects usually hard-code at least one thing: the license of the project's code. FOSS licenses are libertarian (left and right), and other kinds of licenses are authoritarian.
