Why do you use hexbear as your instance? I heard it was pretty right leaning, is that true?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hexbear is a leftist instance. People interpret any criticism of Democrats as coming from the right instead of the left.

Also, Hexbear refers to both Dems and Republicans as liberals. In the US, "liberal" usually only refers to social liberalism. The definition of liberalism elsewhere in the world includes liberal conservatism.

it's not true this is what the current active and local feed looks like

I use it because it was the only active lemmy instance when I started using lemmy three years ago, also I've had some amazing conversations and seen some things like the community raising thousands of dollars for those in need. Not to mention weekly community events
