Looking at instances such as Hexbear and lemmygrad.ml... are they wrong though? And many other instances have given Hexbear a platform to promote and host i.e. spread their content across the wide Fediverse.
We are a tankie bar, plain and simple. Yes you can block it, but most instances have not historically gone very far in that regard, from the perspective of a new Reddit refugee, e.g. a centrist, religious, American who may not like what is going on but also is put off by calls for things such as outright murder.
If we want to expand, we need to get better at labeling the spaces so as to make people with a wider (aka more diverse) set of backgrounds comfortable here. We won't though, instead preferring to simply claim that everything that "in-group" says is correct (and often not allowed to be questioned, though mod & admin tolerances varies wildly) and everything that "out-group" says is 100% wrong and everyone is "stupid" for believing such.
