Hexbear are not right-wing in the slightest. They’re basically Lemmygrad with even more shitposting.
Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?

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.

I see, that En I misunderstood that and OP might have a point?

There are far right instances, they're typically just not federated.

They’re right in that right-of-centre views are relatively rare on Lemmy, for sure.

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

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.
