I’m not sure I’ve seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

Lemmy is founded and developed by two communists and anti-US persons as a commy friendly alternative of Reddit. They also admin two (?) Lemmy instances.
I assume that after people from Reddit migrated it becomes more balanced. But still, reading news and comments in “technology” communities I feel like I read “anti-corporporate”, not technology topics.
Yes. Protecting tankies is explicitly part of the original purpose of Lemmy. It’s almost like the anti-Parler/Gab/Voat, in that it was made by left-wing people as a haven for political views that would be too radical to be tolerated on the mainstream platforms:
…Naturally, this meant that it ended up attracting people who unironically identify as “leftist” while cheerleading the genocidal imperialist war led by the right-leaning conservative United Russia Party of the RF, or the also-rather-genocidal ethnocratic state capitalism of the PRC.
