Even if you truly believe that, just saying that without talking about those instances’ reputation seems… unhelpful, at best. You’re telling someone to join hexbear without telling them how many instances have defederated from it.
Marxists tend to like all 3 of those instances, those who don’t like Marxists tend to hate them. As a Marxist, they are by no means “worse instances,” I much prefer them.
People are recommending all sorts of instances without telling them how many instances have de-federated from them and if they’re federated with hexbear etc.
You only focus that criticism on this suggestion because you are obviously one of the people who don’t like hexbear and want to frame your critique of the suggestion as more reasonable/less biased.
What exactly is the “reputation” hexbear has anyway? Being based?
Without providing that context your critique is “…unhelpful at best”
Edit: to be clear, Hexbear is a large and active instance, so if you value their content (as I do) other instances being de-federated can be just as much, if not more, a mark against those instances. Hence why it matters who deems them controversial and why.
I don’t personally know who they are federated with, but as someone who’s only used Lemmy.ML, I can interact with their instance and I can interact with many (if not most, idk) other instances (.World, .Zip, Lemmygrad, DBzer0, etc). So if they are de-federated with those instances and you want to see both Hexbear and them, maybe come to Lemmy.ml.
Side note: is there a way to track de-federations aside from just searching for communities hosted there from within your instance?

The reputation is only positive in my view.
Yes, of course you people like it but the rest of us for sure aren’t switching to worse instances.
What kind of people am I?
You know…
No, please, go ahead.
A marxist-leninist
THE HORROR.
I have the same level of unacceptability for the existence/support of Marxism-Leninism and Nazism in today’s world.

Also, what do you mean by “you people?”

Those three instances are a lot more controversial than most, and I’m not gonna argue with you if you’re gonna pretend to not know that.
Controversial in the view of liberals and conservatives.
“My specific bias alone is justified in a way that conveniently doesn’t even bear explaining.”
“Controversial” in that Marxists tend to support them, and those opposed to Marxism don’t. It’s as simple as that, really.
Controversial amongst whom and for what reasons?
