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.
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?
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.
