(1) Hilariouschaos and Lemmy.today are well-known to be the most "conservative" right-wing instances on the Threadiverse.
(2) Most of the most popular instances have alts of people on hexbear, lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml - these people are very proud of the fact that no does not mean no to them but rather that they should push forward farther, i.e. they are terminally online people, sometimes called "incels" as in blaming everyone else for their own issues.
(3) The vast majority of people are extremely lazy. Rather than step up and do any real work - e.g. moderate or even just post to a community, or best of all contribute features to the source code that implements the Threadiverse, either in PieFed or Mbin or Lemmy or nodeBB (or Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, etc.) - it is far easier to simply complain. Like if someone wants to Luigi someone else, then I can't stop anyone but neither do I have to listen to all that crap either, especially when the actual irl administration is just itching for such events to occur and then use them as an excuse to oh let's say abolish all voting within, oh let's say "city areas".
Their right to speak should not overrule your right to not have to listen. Then again... who is going to stop them? Your options include leaving all social media behind, including the Threadiverse, or massively curating your experiences here, either by blocking the largest communities and relying on mods of smaller ones (where the moderation work is more tractable) to do the filtering for you - e.g. !wholesome@reddthat.com is a fantastic example of a wonderful community free of such language, or the entire instance of behaw is famous for heavily curating every single comment in every single post to provide an environment free of trolling, the polar opposite of a "free speech" zone - or by doing that filtering yourself, blocking communities and users that choose to speak in that manner.
Btw PieFed offers many MANY automated tools to help with that, including keyword filters, visual icons placed next to "highly contentious" users (who e.g. receive 10x more downvotes than upvotes) so that you are alerted to their known reputation, automated collapsing or even outright hiding of content that has been heavily downvoted (I personally prefer to turn that off but if you want it... it is there for you), and more. iirc sh.itjust.works has announced that it will switch over from Lemmy to PieFed sometime in late 2026 or perhaps 2027, though you may want to not wait and get some experience with PieFed now. If you are actively wanting heavier curation of content to be done for you, then in that case I highly recommend PieFed.social with superb admins. You will still need to expend much effort curating your experiences on the Threadiverse, but the tools here make it much easier as opposed to nearly impossible. I almost left the Threadiverse entirely, but now with PieFed I feel that I can remain, and just block the enormous portions of it that are heavily calling for activities that will result in my literal, actual irl death.
