Is there a political community you found on lemmy that understands how this works, like you do. I see way too many Democrat apologists on these popular communities.

Not on .world. I've noticed .world is more of a neoliberal, mostly pro-capitalism instance in general.

Note, I'm talking more about the moderation rather than members.

Okay. I don't understand all the different instances yet. I got instructions from someone on how to navigate it but haven't sat down to try.

Basically all you need to know is every instance has their own admins with their own rules, and often times you will see instances who are focused on a particular group of people, like my instance, for instance, which is for hardcore computer geeks, but where everyone is welcome regardless of whether or not they are even into computers.

I also like my instance because they explicitly choose to not defederate with any instance. I can choose what to block myself, which is how I prefer it.

There are also instances like db0's (former /r/piracy moderator) for example, which focus more on individual freedoms/anarchist philosophy.

I started off on .world for a month until I found my instance.

Well, .world has a lot of users who understand this, but the loudest voices (who are often times moderators) are definitely Democrat apologists. Then again, some of the other instances, like .ml, have the opposite problem, and are full-blown tankie/authoritarian apologists, so it's kind of a, "pick your poison, damned if you do, damned if you don't," situation.
