Well at this point I think the average user of the most popular websites know they're incredibly bias and cater to popular left wing views.
People with opposing views will continue to use those websites though because they have a massive audience, essentially a monopoly. But fortunately services like Patreon allow people to support creators directly while YouTube demonetizes opposing views.

The majority of people are in the center.
I wouldn't consider Facebook to be left-wing, but then again... North America seems to be one big step farther over to the right compared to our right-wingers.
The fact is... If the far-right are unhappy with the current status-quo of Social Media, they are more than happy to start their own outlets, free market and all that.

Anybody on the left who calls anybody leaning right as a bigot/Nazi/fascist are among the worst of the left.

Wrong.
If someone is a Bigot/Nazi or Fascist, then they are a Bigot/Nazi or Facist... Let's not change words/descriptors/meanings because it might offend someone.
With the "Bigot" descriptor itself though, that isn't strictly exclusive to those in the right-wing political spectrum anyway.

The KKK isn't even relevant today and haven't been for a long time. Hence, we don't need to look to the past to make excuses for modern asshole.

Well. They still seem to exist and still have made "Alliances" with other hate-groups.

Granted, I am far from educated on the topic as it's American stuff... Other parts of the world, far-right hate-groups have grown in prominence.

Antifa is deemed a fringe group but their presence is much more significant than any other fringe group.

Antifa should always be condemned when they step outside of the law, that goes for any group or individual or organization.
But they shouldn't be condemned for protesting, free speech or peaceful demonstrations.

The worst you have on the left is some anti vaxxers that's about it. Also the far left never mixes their craziness with religion but on the far right it is common that the craziest members are also religious and they mix their religion with their craziness. That is why Alex Jones is on whole other level of crazy not only is a regular nut he is also a religious nut.

Anti-Vaxxers falls under the typical conspiracy theory garbage that I group with Alex Jones and Flat Earthers.
As for religion, you do have some religious lefties, they can be a little crazy, especially the extreme greenies who will look down at you for eating meat.
