There are many left and far-left forums out there too, though yeah they aren't billed as "free speech" clones. Lemmy [1] is an explicitly leftist friendly type of forum and Tildes [2] while not explicitly leftist is in practice very leftist. There are as many communities out there as there are strands to human thought I imagine. [1]: https://lemmy.ml/ https://lemmy.ml/ [2]: https://tildes.net/ https://tildes.net/

> There are many left and far-left forums out there too, though yeah they aren't billed as "free speech" clones. I'm reasonably sure that in far left forums, though you can (for example) find quite a bit of antisemitism and similar toxic opinions, you won't get a lot of "Stalin was Right" memes, or admiration for the Khmer Rouge. There is a qualitative and quantitative difference between the extremes of the right and left in US political discourse as well as the amount of cover the mainstream is willing to extend.

  > you won't get a lot of "Stalin was Right" memes, or admiration for the Khmer Rouge. You definitely do. Take a look at this Tankie community on Lemmygrad [1]. You'll also find a lot of denial about Uigyuhr genocide on behalf of China and a lot of revisionism about the atrocities of both the Soviet Union's military interventions and its pogroms.
