      To hear centrists tell it, no one to their left actually exists; they’re all scary foreign psyops here to make neoliberals look bad on a small fledgling platform.

        I can’t believe I ever heard that Lemmy was “too Communist”. Every sub I’ve seen is crawling with liberals who shout down any leftist thought with epithets like “tankie” and “bot”.

        (Imperialist liberals. I was just permanently banned from /c/historyporn for trying to correct some Islamophobic misinformation in a neutral factual way. The mod said it was “sexist apologia”.)

          Interesting, I think this is the largest politics community and the behavior you describe is against the rules and actively enforced against. Where are you seeing it?

            That is a recent development.
