Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

I'm glad you view my instance in a more positive light, and I can't comment on early Hexbear culture, but I am still so very confident, absolutely positive, that the hate you're seeing for Trotsky is not because of his religion.

Nah I get reasons why he would get hate but it always went just a little bit beyond that. It almost felt like they had just that little extra motivation. Not that it matters anyway, because like I said they've cleared house of that sort of thing so it's an anachronism at this point.
