    Is there a constant churn of new leftie subs? As subs get banned do other subs drift further left to fill the void? I’d love there to be some natural law that makes this sort of thing inevitable

      Yes, but they become fragmented and divided. This is why deplatforming works. The people that used to frequent these places still exist after the ban and still browse reddit, but instead of congregating in one unified place they might browse reddit less and turn to closed discords, or join a number of smaller, new subreddits instead.
