There are multiple communities dedicated to pointing out some of that bullshit, like !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, and ofc that instance I mentioned features heavily in communities such as !fediverselore@lemmy.ca and !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com due to its heavy authoritarian stance that removes content that criticizes Russia, China, or North Korea, despite there being no written rule against such.

There most definitely are real and actual leftists here, like slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0.com, but the drama that tankies cause is legendary. Which in turn causes a lot of people on Reddit to steer clear of Lemmy altogether, since the lead developers are tankies, hence authoritarianism is baked right into the code, the same as Reddit, combined with a smaller user base here.
