I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

It is essentially a Marxists Leninist instance that is extremely far left.
People hate them because they often brigade posts, especially anything that contains keywords including their instance, and probably also just because communism = scary 🤡.
However, their instance is very similar to reddit’s /r/conservative: believes any and all propaganda coming from chosen sources as gospel (for example, they believe much of what comes out of North Korea, a notably right-wing fascist state masking as socialist just like the Nazis did), they are intolerant of any other ideologies, they swing the ban hammer hard on anyone that disagrees with them, and they believe any news outside of their chosen channels is “fake news.”
Antifascism is a great goal, but it seems to bow to fascist regimes and believe everything they say because the regime calls themselves socialist. (Or it could be natural if one subscribes to political ring or horseshoe theory I guess)
They probably mean well, but it is the same echochamber as pretty much every political community: neolib, conservative, and communist alike. It is hard to not get sucked into being an echochamber as the nature of communities.
Buzzword buzzword buzzword, you’re indistinguishable from your Vlaams Belang party for trying to say “actually the Communists are the real fascists”
You’re doing a bit, right? Please say you’re doing a bit
Please explain how is North Korea a right-wing fascist state.
Which sources? Please be specific.
The North Korean um… Times, I guess. /s
