There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:
Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."
After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"
What's the beef here? I'm out of the loop.
Lemmy.world is very liberal leaning and defederated from the Marxist aligned instances. Lemmy.ml is more broadly federated and has Marxist mods and admins, and more leftist users in general.
That's it. Some users make it a fight.
It's our version of sports teams
very liberal leaning and defederated
For me, "slight liberal leaning" is more appropriate for them
There's currently about 600 lemmy instances, in many different countries, and those countries each have different laws regarding the protection of speech. Some of it is also just power-tripping mods or left-wing / right-wing censorship.
If this is happening to a community you like, you can always switch to the same community in a different instance. Eventually, the "official" community will have the most subscribers and the community with the censorship problems will wither and die.
dbzero on top. even after beefing with and being banned from another instance the admins let us stay federated.
.ml banning the dbzero admin instead of defederating will never not be funny.
"The users are fine, it's just the admin"
Wasn't that Hexbear that banned dbzer0? Or was that also Lemmy.ml?
I could be misremembering, but I can see dbzer0 content so I guess both instances came to the same conclusion lmao.
.world, hexbear, and another big one all defederated with dbzer0 since they host a lot of piracy and grey area legal content.
Hexbear is federated with dbzer0, I have no idea why you think otherwise. They banned the admins for being Anticommunist, but left it federated because Hexbear is pro-piracy and there are cool dbzer0 users
Ah my bad, might have gotten my instances mixed around, I thought there were three big instances that defederated with dbzer0
There may have been, but Lemmy.ml is fine with Piracy it seems and Hexbear is explicitly pro-piracy.
I think it's just lemmy.world, and they actually aren't defederated from dbzer0, they just blocked the piracy community specifically. I think dbzer0 is pretty much fully federated with all the major servers except for lemmygrad. With .world blocking the piracy community, it only affects their users, dbzer0 users can still participate in any lemmy.world content.
Ah okay, thanks! :)
dbzer0, lemmy.zip and lemm.ee have all been consistently great.
The propaganda recycling isn't great, but it's at the (VERY) least not any worse than reddit, facebook, or legacy media
The propaganda recycling isn’t great
.ml
lol
As an ex-dbzero, it's a solid choice!
I am just a chill lemm.ee guy
Being yourself? Rad as fuck.
I've yet to see any open lemm.ee prejudice anywhere. AFAIK it's the largest completely inoffensive instance and that's exactly what I was looking for.
Hell yeah brother ✌️
I’ll be pretty annoyed if world and ml break up. I just want to scroll and they’re most of the content.
If everyone on .world just blocked a handful of people, the issue would disappear. It's mostly a small number of shitheads using a common "enemy" for attention and power.
Real. I just want to shit on cars that I don’t like and glaze Porsche like a good boomer.
Ideally the network corrects by users moving away from the drama instances so they don’t get randomly cut off.
Ideally content is properly cross posted. But no big deal if not.
Hopefully some day people can view "shitposting" "All" and be able to see shitposting communities no matter their instance. (Minus those they defederate of course)
I've no idea if my instance causes any drama or not. And what if it does in the future?
There's 2 things I can't abide: intolerant communities and the Dutch.
Anyone unironically surprised by this? Lmao
Lemmy.today is one of the most drama-free instances.
Just go and explore whatever of Lemmy you want.
