I've noticed it's certain users pushing this and it's not even pro-communism it's just pro-Chinese propaganda. They're not trying to elevate people's state of living, rather just pushing interests that benefit the Chinese government.

You should check out [email protected]. Lot fewer tankies being useful idiots there. The magic of the fediverse 🪄

I think the fact that there is a variety of opinions being posted, compared to the censorship I witnessed on Reddit, is the more mature situation. If anyone is being childish, it's those who feel the need to censor opposing ideologies. Feeling free to post and discuss differing views has a lot of value. I am assuming by your use of "commie" that you'd rather dismiss an entire ideology and group of supporters outright rather than on any real grounds.

Lemmy attracts more activists, while Reddit attracts more passive users. This was by design, and if you're unhappy with it then Reddit is still freely available.

Are you really surprised that activists aren't happy with the West?

lemmy.ml was started by tankies and lots of tankie post here. Other servers are not simply Chinese propaganda.
