this question aims to look at alternatives, not why we should remain using lemmy or any lemmy instance.
I will go to sleep, because it is late.
Here’s a list to some alternatives. Some might look to be non-alternatives at first glance, so before naming some alternatives I’d like to remind what the purpose of spaces like this are:
Communicating with others
- writing letters to prisoners, and having an adress they can respond to. If they answer, write an response
- walls (get some chalk, spray paint, etc). I grand you read/write access
- zines (write/read and them circulate)
- non-lemmy fediverse platforms
- email lists (you can use them as if they are federated forums)
- blogs/rss feeds
- irc/xmpp
- raddle.me
The problem with lemmy right now is that there are too few instances. The instances that has momentum has a strong tankies presence which a lot of people are uncofortable with. The most natural answer would be for them to create their own instance, but they chose to leave the platform instead 🤯

Its fair to criticize me for using the term tankies. What is a better term for one who support these countries?

Except that when people say “tankies” they are not referring to all socialists, but to the branch that supports authoritarian socialist governments, pretty much on the opposite end of the leftist spectrum from anarchism, so I understand why op would feel that way, although I will take that community any day over a right leaning community.
