I think a big part of it comes from having such radical opinions, and having that amplified as a condition of the instance. Because of that you get people coming in all the time saying the same things, repeating what are (to those in the instance) the same old arguments heard a million times, the welcome can be easily over stayed. With that I think people that grew up in ‘The West’ tend to have a lot of assumptions they can’t really justify or place about communist countries, and when those show through in an instance full of history pervs that strongly disagree, their response is maybe not a full “fuck off”, but enough of one to downvote.
