Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn’t give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it’s about de-platforming fascists.
I feel like calling it “stupid opinions” is a bit of a downplay on what they are, which is in essence a far-right, pro russia (and hence pro fascism) echo chamber masquerading as leftists.
I also don’t get your comment you are basically saying I can’t do anything about it, bar maybe creating this post which is exactly what I did, if this instance remains federated with hexbear I will just delete this account and make another one on an instance that’s less tolerant of these things
To be fair I think hexbear is actually far left instead of far right but your other points still stand . They look remarkably similar
Go far enough and it kind of wraps around like a cylinder.
you can’t be far left and a Putin fan like they are, those diametrically opposing viewpoints.
The political left is by definition a group of people who believe in a more egalitarian society as opposed to the political right that believe that a hierarchical structure is natural.
and Oligarchy like russia is a very right political system.
