Can you point me to an example of that happening here?
Perhaps I should rephrase. They attack Mozilla (and users of Firefox) infinitely more than Google (and users of various Google products). I heard it said after Mozilla introduced their opt-out privacy-respecting ad tracking that users should "move to a more privacy-friendly browser like Google Chrome".
This is true of Lemmy's political stance in general. Tell them you're a leftist but not vegan? They'll call you a murderer. Tell them you're a leftist but not an anarcho-communist? Yeah I'll bet you love capitalism and the human suffering it causes, you Chauvinist pig! Tell them you're a liberal? You're practically a Nazi collaborator! (All things I have actually heard Lemmings say.) But tell them you're a conservative and they leave you alone.
I've never seen self-proclaimed leftists hurl more vitriol than when an openly-socialist labor organizer in my union said they were for freedom of speech (for humans) and generally supportive of firearm ownership. Absolutely wild reaction.
