I like the relatively sane moderation compared to Reddit.
I dislike the heavy far-left/communist presence here. I’m a lefty myself, but a lot of people here are extremists in my opinion, little better than the far right.
I’m also a lefty and often find myself going against the extreme grain here. The narratives about everything being a scam designed to steal your balls, the generational hatred, the cynicism and fatalism… That shit isn’t just more liberal than me, so I hesitate to even call it leftist extremism. I’m not sure what it is. Nihilism, maybe.
I mean iunno about subs but for instances hexbear is largely known as the tankie instance. For the other kind of extreme leftists, the anarchists seem much more spread out even than they were back on reddit

Please tell me which subs you go to find extremist leftists
They’re all over the place, but I suppose I encounter them most in the news and politics forums.

I’m a new user and I don’t know the lingo yet. Can you tell me what a tanky is?
Tanky is authoritarian communist / Lenninist
Ah yes, gotta love our little tankies
