Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins.
I suppose the "next boogyman" will probably be an instance with a very lax defederation policy like Lemm.ee, db0, or Shitjustworks, if Lemmy.world ever defederates with Lemmy.ml. Either that, or Lemmy.world will jump ship to Sublinks and that will be an entirely different platform.
I mean there are communities dedicated to having a problem with Lemmy itself being developed by Marxist-Leninists. Not sure it'll stop at the instance level.
But hey: Shitjustworks defederated Lemmygrad since the admin doesn't like them and hexbear defederated shitjustworks, so I only ever see these kind of after-action-reports from the folks that go out searching for bad takes from those instances or wherever.
My comment was more to the effect that since Lemmy doesn't really have a large number of Conservatives, the Left in general is the boogeyman for Liberals in Lemmy.world, and they largely won't stop punching leftward until they either become leftists themselves or they leave Lemmy (perhaps via Sublinks?).
