Looking for an actual left leaning Lemmy instance

I originally signed up for lemmy about six months ago due to becoming outraged over reddit's continual coddling of hard right and fascist powermods that use their authority to harass.

It was good here at lemmy.world for a long while until I started getting harassed by a 12 day old right leaning mod in /politics.

I posted a thread here about what to do and even got back a response from the site operator.

Which was shortly followed by a PM my thekingoflorida (the site operator) scolding me and threatening action for calling out the mods bad behavior in threads.

Reading the wind I realized lemmy.world is heading down the shitshow path that so many other online social forums have become and immediately deleted my account.

@thekingoflorida I do not want you to respond, I don't care about your opinion, and if the fucking software would let me block you, I would have already.

So in short, I'm looking for a lemmy instance that has zero right wing users with admins that actually want to keep right wing forum manipulation off of their platform. I don't care about 'the marketplace of ideas' or fairness in speech that tries to give space to fascist rhetoric in the guise of equality.

EVERY time they worm their ways in and have admin support, it ALWAYS railroads into what ruined reddit. And I'm tired of these shitstains ruining communities that I enjoy.

So, TL;DR: I'm looking for a lemmy instance with ZERO tolerance for anything right of Bill Clinton.

If you don't want drama, you probably shouldn't be calling people out by name.
- Not even remotely an answer
  
  It really is. I don't think you'll be happy on any instance. You're here making a one day old alternate account to stir up drama, and name call. That's dramatic behavior. I think that's just who you are.
  
  Any instance you go to no, matter how left-leaning, there will be some conflict, because people disagree sometimes, and you are not equipped with the appropriate social conflict handling skills to process that and fit-in.
the communist tankie ones are lemmygrad and hexbear and to a significantly lesser extent lemmy.ml. I consider hexbear super authoritarian tankies and not really abiding by the socialist ideology most of the time.

Someone else mentioned Beehaw which is an instance that is all about being polite. Iirc they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck
- I consider hexbear super authoritarian
  
  Ok then they're off the list. I appreciate the context, other users replied with just the name. Their community list was giving me massive red flags so I'm glad you were able to comment on that

  So far I think that's going to be my choice. Submitted my application about 20 mins ago.

  My original deleted username was nothing like this. I made the username as a throwaway to express my frustration with lemmy.world's site admin.
  
  From what I've seen, I sincerely think you'll like it at Beehaw. They're an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!
- I made this user account as a throwaway specifically after the instance admin actively supported am activist mod that was repeatedly harassing me, it was supposed to be fuck_lemmy.world but apparently you can't use punctuation in usernames.

  The admin you had a talk with posted the conversation and he was VERY fair towards you.
Hmm. Maybe Beehaw?
- Thanks, checking it out now.
Its always fun watching people fight over how pure their beliefs are.
- That's not actually what's going on here but I understand why your limited reading comprehension leads you to that assumption.
Mmm? I don’t remember ever scolding someone. If you feel like I did that was probably me being Dutch. Could you specify what I said that made you angry?
- Okay, so I read through some of the replies and I think I know what exchange you are referring to (not gonna doxx your ofcourse). I was honestly trying to ascertain if that mod had abused their power. You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules. I removed those comments, but I was still trying to work with you to investigate that particular mod.
  
  Notice how the won’t engage with you at all because the are clearly in the wrong someone hurt their feelings so the broke every rule on the instance throwing a tantrum and are surprised when the get repercussions for it.

  Except it isn't?
Someone point this man to a soap opera instance, stat!
Sounds to me like the instance you're looking for is Blahaj Lemmy over at lemmy.blahaj.zone.
- I put in my application so here's hoping.
lemmy.blahaj.zone sounds like a good fit for you. It’s an instance predominately set up as a refuge for trans people, but accepts anyone respectful. The admins defederate from anything offensive which keeps it a safe place for people who need it. I’m not trans but basically signed up here because I feel the same as you, I come here to unwind before bed and want to avoid inflammatory shit. It’s a great little community.
- accepts anyone respectful
  
  This was an appropriate qualifier for this thread
- lemmy.blahaj.zone
  
  Its funny but it seems like the trans community has some of the best no-hate zones, thanks for the suggestion and you are the first one to make it for that site.
  
  Going to check it out now.
I don't know shit about kingoflorida but I'm currently stuck in this neo fascist state and I sure as hell am doing what I can to fix it.... consider my vote his anti vote!

Edit: One day folks will learn that tolerance cannot include intolerance.... intolerance will spread like cancer and choke the life out of freedom.
- Tolerance was and remains a peace treaty: you be tolerant, and we'll tolerate you. Once someone opts to break the treaty, they receive no further protection from it.
Try Hexbear, I think you'd be a good fit.
- Hexbear
  
  After one look at their community list, hell FUCK no.
  
  Just because I don't want to deal with magapedes doesn't mean I'm a tankie
- Hexbea
  
  Also aren't all Lemmy instance Federated so the will still run into those users 😂
  
  I don't care about right wing users, hell I'm even willing to talk with them.
  
  My problem is right wing activist mods and the site admin that supported them.
  
  Federated servers cannot exert mod authority on other instances, did you not bother reading my post at all?
I want to give my side of the story.

I removed one of person's comment on the political community because it was reported, from what I can recall, it was a very long, borderline QAnon level rant that was antagonizing other users for essentially not buying into their conspiracy theory, which we took very seriously here.

This person was not even banned, and the modlog can confirm that.

I have had literally zero interaction with this person in any form other than this single comment removal. I have never sent this person a single DM or reply, and I think our admins can confirm that.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw 4 already removed reply to my comments from this person, and it appears that this person has already purged their own account.
Do you have example of right winged posts on Lemmy. ?

I sometimes have the impression that the Fediverse political diversity goes from Soft social-democrat who are ready to make a deal with liberals, like accepting that billionaire can own companies if union are powerful enough to hard-liner Marxist who thing that we should nationalize the mean of production, jails the billionaire, and implement a maximum salary, and that the political debate is more We all agree that Climate change, social issues and societal issues are important However, in a democratic system we cannot do everything at the same time so by which one do we start ?

But basically, It's hard to find, Liberals supporting free market, and thinking that Von der Leyen manages the EU properly. If you remove a few tankies who think that Putin, Orbàn, and Erdogan are nice guys, there isn't much support for right wing government and policies. I am glad to not have all the right winger from reddit, but feel like it's a bit too skewed.
- idgaf about any right wing posts they have the same right to be here if they behave, that's not the reason for my leaving.
  
  I was pretty clear in my post that I was being harassed by a moderator, and they were using their mod powers to shape a narrative that is manifestly anti-liberty.
  
  This has nothing to do with anything any regular user has posted or replied with.
Lol
Link to a screenshot of the conversation with an LW admin mentioned by OP: https://lemmy.world/comment/6649251
I always recommend kbin to every question. 100% no complaints so far
- kbin.social
- kbin
  
  I think that's the only other alternative I've heard of before now. Appreciate the suggestion and going to make an account now.
Let us know where you land if you find a community that doesn't cater to the crazy fascists.
The fuckingcapitalists and goddamnedfascists are everywhere. They have banned me from several subs too. Good luck.
- I appreciate it, and hope the site admin gets their head out of their ass before this place becomes unsalvageable
  
  Don't worry about that you and your alts are banned. I didn't ban this account yet so you can answer if it is ok to post your conversation with thekingoflorda here.
  
  Wdym site admin?
