I’m new to this as well, I just chose this instance to switch to (also from lemm.ee) because I’m queer and knew this instance did a good job keeping out assholes.

In general I think most instances on here are leftist or at least left-leaning. The general recommendation for lemm.ee users is currently lemmy.zip, if you want a dedicated political instance I only know of the anarchist lemmy.dbzer0.com (though they are too defensive of genAI for my taste) and the European Federalist feddit.org.

This thread has more recommendations by a more experienced user

They’ve got a lot of genuine tankies on there, and not just the „West is bad“ kind, but also a lot of „The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is justified and the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen“

That is what he said, but this is the only instance of it actually happening. The missile tests that do regularly happen are into the Eastern Sea, which is also know as the Sea of Japan, which may cause his confusion

Here‘s the incident they were talking about. It wasn’t fired at Japan, but looking at the place it landed in, it had to have crossed either Japanese or Russian territory on its path, which is negligent at best or a direct provocation at worst.
