They are not left wing, mainly.
Go find me a left wing instance that spreads hateful disinformation and incites violence and I'll ask to defederate with them too. Just because the right is the only side doing it doesn't mean they'd be removed for being on the right.
If someone goes to jail because they murdered someone, it wasn't because of their political preferences.
Hexbear? A stretch, but lemmygrad?
Just looked at hexbear. I'd defederate them too. Though given they're shitting all over liberals and saying how great Stalin was, I wouldn't call them left wing either, other than liking communism. But maybe it counts as not right wing?
I'm sorry but liberals are not left wing, any socialist would shit on liberals. But I agree that their unironic defense of Russia is a about weird.
Side thought, it's really weird that the right refers to the left as liberals, but the left refers to right-wing "centrists" as liberals, so everybody shits on liberals.
Man, I never saw "tankies are right wing" until I joined lemmy, and now I've seen it twice. What even is left wing/right wing to you guys?
I didn't call them right wing?
