Most people on Lemmy are leftist and left-biased, in fact there're some pretty big and problematic tankie instances, right-wingers are a rarity and they're ostracized. If anything, people moving to Lemmy are sick of all the neoliberal/right-wing bullshit.

Ah, I've been using it for the tech stuff. My mind kind of just blocks that stuff naturally now or tries to. I use it for the technology aspect.

Well, if it's like that, where's the _decent_ websites? I don't use reddit. I block X, Facebook, everything. All that's left is HackerNews. I just want to enjoy higher level discussions.

I'm not down with neo-nazis though.

There are instances on the Fediverse ranging from actual far-left tankies to actual far-right Nazis. Many of them are banned from interacting with the really big general-purpose instances, but they still exist. If you insist on only touching instances that aren't banned from general-purpose instances, that's on you, and that's not demanding the right to speak, that's demanding the right for others to listen to you.
