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
Iām not so sure about lemmy.world. Itās not all bad but thereās 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, itās 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.
Can you add aussie.zone
I donāt think theyāre particularly objectionable.
World is horrible. Usaians complaining that everyone who doesnāt think bombing people is a good thing are kgb sleeper agents or teenagers rebelling from their parents.
Yes, thanks.
It is really shocking the vicious demand for consensus on all things but especially in war that seems to only come from USian accounts. I honestly believe it to be a totalitarian society.
Yeah, I donāt mind disagreeing with people but the sheer reality tunnel theyāre in is horrible.
Every ideology has its edgelords but the average user seems completely in denial that reasonable, thoughtful, and compassionate people might disagree on whether the USA behaves as it presents itself. Itās not fucking normal or good to have highly militarised cops, people carrying war machines in the street, army bases in every second country, be constantly at war, make kids swear allegance to the flag etc. The only way they know how to engage with the flaws of their country is to say āX is something Iād expect in $currentenemynationā.
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 wonāt 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 donāt 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 canāt downvote what they canāt see :)
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 whatās here, but like others have said, it also keeps this instance peaceful and friendly. People can make accounts if they would like.
I think itās 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 š
I would argue against lemmy.world as there are too many people from there who are too closed-minded.
