I think the critical difference is JT doesn't push the CPUSA very much and JT has a solid grip on theory, whereas Pluto's attitude seemed to be entirely that of a social club member and they showed no ability to articulate why they supported CPUSA beyond making extremely absurd statements. Also the really annoying crossposting, cross-posting their crossposting into the news mega, etc. If they hadn't been so overbearing with the non-sequitur crossposting and they showed any ability to grapple with the actual criticisms of CPUSA they'd likely still be here. You can't make work for moderators all the time AND be annoyingly wrong all the time.
This is an absurd amount of projection, coming from the perspective of hexbear. Hexbear is a social club. You are a member of a social club. Look at the post history of the OP of this thread, it has no substance or any reference to leftism, just engagement baiting and shibboleths. When I look at the post history of Pluto, there is at least some substance and Pluto to me at least exhibited some understanding of socialist theory.
The entire front page of hexbear is constantly littered with gibberish inside baseball by like 10 people. For a brief period of time when Hexbear federated with lemmy, hexbear accidentally had a somewhat decent algorithm so that the front page wasn't littered with garbage posts all the time and what happened? The devs brought back the old algorithm which promotes spamming nonsense. This same algorithm is what allowed users like LiberalSocialist to gain so much engagement.
Here's JT's video promoting CPUSA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrnLyvZrdEw

Did you ever actually engage with Pluto on anything of substance?
Also, why are you comparing a shit posting forum with a political organization? Pretty bizarre choice.

Yeah, I was just digging through my screenshots to see if I could find any illustrations of Pluto's solid grasp of socialism
Here are two examples of Pluto's understanding of socialist theory:
