I don’t see much difference between here and Reddit tbh. The major difference,however, is the in-fighting amongst the instances here, namely the tankie instances such as .ml and hexbear versus the rest of the fediverse.

That’s certainly one way to frame it, though I don’t think it’s particularly accurate. In general, there are 3 major groups: The Marxist-Leninists. On Lemmy, the overwhelming majority of Marxists are MLs. The MLs are found primarily on Lemmy.ml, Hexbear.net, and Lemmygrad.ml. This group was here first. The anarchists. These vary much more than the Marxists do in views. They are primarily found on dbzer0/anarchist nexus, Hexbear.net, and some on slrpnk.net. This group arrived a bit after the Marxists. The liberals. These vary a bit more than the anarchists do, from the more cryptofascist-aligned primarily found on sh.itjust.works, to the more DNC-aligned found on Lemmy.world, to the more social democratic found on blahaj and slrpnk.net. This group is where most newcomers go to. These 3 groups make up the broad majority, and each instance has their own mixtute of the 3 major groups. This largely shapes how instances interact. There isn’t a grand Marxist war on the fediverse, you’re looking from the more liberal-aligned side of things.
