We are re-instituting the server whitelist. Please let us know servers that should be on the whitelist. I hope to have this done in the next few days.

what are your thoughts on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world?
are a few that I would put back on the whitelist at first, can you think of others
Before this instance (and still, I guess?) I had a few different accounts with the same user name on different instances, specifically because there was a lot of defederation going on.
It is a very mild inconvenience to switch accounts. I understand it also limits who can see what’s here, but like others have said, it also keeps this instance peaceful and friendly. People can make accounts if they would like.
I think it’s the right move, especially with people obsessed with how others run their own instances. I for one am shocked that carnists feel entitled to determine how other beings should live 🙄
I think this list is a good start. As long as there is a simple enough process to decide on what to add (or remove) it won’t matter too much if a few instances are missing for a bit. Better to gradually build up the list of federated instances than to have what happened before.
Hard pass on lemmy.world, I think it should not be considered unless a lot changes with their moderation and userbase. Currently it feels like the worst of Reddit decided to land there and I don’t see that changing any time soon. This instance will feel a lot safer to us vegans and we can discuss veganism without them manipulating the discussion with their votes. Also, those libs can’t downvote what they can’t see :)
I’m not so sure about lemmy.world. It’s not all bad but there’s also a fuck ton of liberal shit on there. A lot of the posts I see are people bitching about communism.
I have no issues with .ml personally, it’s the instance I created my main Lemmy account on and I find the people there to be more tolerable than .world.
Thanks for participating here and adding your thoughts here. This is what I am leaning towards. I know a lot of the users are essentially neutral but as the largest instance I believe they are being intentionally astroturfed.
I would argue against lemmy.world as there are too many people from there who are too closed-minded.
I think it’s fine to keep lemmy.ml while operating a whitelist.
When I browse their comms locally I see some shit but from my hexbear account it’s fine.
I do question the sh.itjust.works federation though. I’ve never seen anything of value coming from that instance.
I hope you can keep this site going. I don’t contribute much as I have zero food presentation skills but I really appreciate this place existing.
Hi!
Please don’t feel like your food photo contributions are unwelcome if they aren’t polished. If I recall correctly, one of the goals of the community was to reflect real vegan food, to help demonstrate how accessable and simple it can be.
We have a fine culture of slop in this house đźŹ
Thanks for you input, to be honest I thought sh.itjust.works was different but now that I am taking a stricter look at the communities that have been federated they host some questionable things I have already blocked on the community level. I’ll see how it goes, there is a comm on there I like where we just post songs. Maybe we’ll move that to a new instance.
