  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 with even more shitposting.

      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
