I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has been a net negative and I’m pretty much ready to move on. I just don’t know where else to go.
I thought we have quite a diversity here with extreme right wing on hexbear, extreme left wing on lemmygrad, center with lemmy.world, (clasic) liberalism on dbzer0, and everything between like blahaj, beehaw, redhat, slrpnk, etc.
Hexbear are also far left. They’re just so far left that they hate the west more than China or sometimes even Russia for some reason. Afaik all far right instances are luckily defederated. Most of Lemmy leans heavily left. I considered myself left wing, and I’m also very much left wing nationally speaking, yet here on Lemmy I constantly encounter people who are so left wing that I pretty much completely disagree with them.
Hexbear are not right-wing in the slightest. They’re basically Lemmygrad but with even more shitposting.
I see, that then I misunderstood that and OP might have a point?
OP is correct in that right-of-centre views are relatively rare on Lemmy, for sure.
There are far right instances, they’re typically just not federated.
I don’t know much about hexbear, but why’s it extreme right?
Because they are literal Nazis.
They’re authoritarians like the Nazis, but they aren’t Nazis. They like Stalin’s approach to authoritarianism instead.
They seemed to be pretty left-wing and “safe-spacey” from my limited knowledge
