You'll have both though in the fediverse... So it's pretty irrelevant. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.
Outside of the odd troll here and there, fascism isn't a huge problem (at least on lemmy). Exploding heads died in like a week and you haven't really seen any popular resurgence of far right politics here since. Can't speak for the rest of the fediverse but lemmy seems to have carved out a semi-comfy niche for itself
I haven't seen far rights here myself, but it's a self selecting bias.
I've definitely come across more far lefts here than any other platform I've used which are equally as bad as far right imo.
I'm always concerned if there is only one strong group representation like that though. I'd rather have no extremists obviously, but if we have one side at least allow the other, otherwise that sort of crap starts seeping elsewhere.
