https://defed.xyz No real surprises, but the list pales compared to Lemmygrad’s still, they have 3x as many defeds.
interesting, I was wondering if there was a way to find this
😎
Lib.lgbt , beehaw ? Whaa why ?
Beehaw pre-emptively defederated us before we even federated.
I’d what’s up with lib.lgbt but I think “lib” is probably the operative word.
They say that defederating from hexbear was because CA and world did
Similarly to lemmy.ca and lemmy.world, we are also unfederated from hexbear.
They defederated 20 minutes after lemmy.ca did.
I can at least understand why Beehaw did. They defederated from lemmy.world at the beginning because they take moderation pretty seriously and couldn’t keep up with the sheer size of Lemmy.world. Hexbear is simply too active within their fediverse to keep up with all the shit that comes along with Hexbear. Even if it isn’t users from here being a bit spammy (I’ll be honest, it sometimes is though, it was the same when Chapo was on Reddit) the responses to Hexbear users just have a lot more vitriol than is worth introducing into a space like Beehaw.
Beehaw is very cool about applying for alt accounts as long as you haven’t been banned and that’s one thing good about the fediverse. You are allowed to go over there, but you have to follow their rules. They don’t really fuck with instances with open sign up because of how seriously they take moderation there, so honestly dropping Hexbear pre-emptively is fine. They’re pretty consistent with how they federate and defederate around their ability to moderate everything.
Idk, I think with federation we have to understand that Hexbear comes with a huge open sign up userbase with controversial opinions. And particularly active commenters compared to the rest of the fediverse. There are some instances we simply are not compatible with.
Beehaw are snakes and nothing they say should be trusted, I remember them trying to get people to leave lemmy.ml for their instance with the sole argument being they don’t federate with lemmygrad back in the day when there were like 5 instances. Their main recruitment tactic was to talk about lemmygrad lol. One argument they used to defederate from lemmygrad back then was that we were apparently so big, we filled up their disk space when they opened federation. And then they found out it was actually a bug and log files didn’t get deleted. Took them a few days to actually go into the FTP and look at it lol (and back then lemmy.ml was as big as us anyway). We received neither an apology or an offer to refederate.
Now they make a ton of donation money and can get additional admins and even community mods. On lemmygrad we have no problem being federated with lib instances like world or ee and we don’t make a single cent in donation to host the website or work on it.
They’re just typical anti-communists.
Lmao its good to see the worst instances leave.
Does anyone else find it really, really funny that the only nationality instance to defed from us so far is Canada? I mean, I get why, but I honestly expected the UK one to leave us first.
I’m not really surprised, sadly. A lot of their userbase is from /r/onguardforthee, which is small-L and capital-L liberal central. Their only real beef with Reddit is that the Reddit admins are making Reddit increasingly uncivil. They have no ideological problem with mainstream Reddit thought, especially when it comes to their kneejerk defence of capitalism.
That and the large amounts of err, “Ukrainian Patriots” having an influence in Canada. When your deputy prime minister is the granddaughter of a Nazi propagandist it tends to influence things. And her uncle also was a big proponent of the double genocide republishing said nazi propaganda as ‘research’.
Surprised they lasted as long as they did before defederating given that.
Not to dox myself but in my area of Canada seeing Ukrainian flags already was on par with Canadian ones before the war and since its started they probably outnumber them 4 to 1.
Not that I care about the lack of Canadian flags but it is pretty weird when you think about it. Like it’s not like I expect a diaspora to not display any national symbols but this particular diaspora from my experience is largely like 3+ generations in Canada, so youd think lots of the connection is lost.
When your deputy prime minister is the granddaughter of a Nazi propagandist it tends to influence things.
For anyone who might be wondering, it definitely doesn’t end with her grandfather. She has denied that her grandfather was a Nazi and said claims that he was are Russian disinformation (lol). This isn’t even a her being stubborn and refusing to see the facts thing, because it has been proven that she has known this to be true going back at the very least back to the 90s.
Also uh holding this banner
Which is honestly really surprising to me, given the sorry state of housing in Canada.
It seems like all Canadian online forums/subreddits/whatever are like 90% people who are landlords and/or landlord sympathizers.
It’s really fucking weird when you consider what percentage of the actual population are landlords (especially among the main internet using demographics)
Wrong link, but surprisingly useful, I’ll have to pass it on.
Amazing comment, especially about defederation being the last resort.
Edit: jerboa and infinity are just being broken. I got some DIY HRT thread, saved it, but jerboa decided to not actually save it. Opened up the link in a browser and it’s showing the correct thread.
The weak should fear the strong
Not really the strong should unite with the weak but it doesnt work for this joke
The more I learn about nature the more I realize that concepts like ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ are truly subjective to the environment.
When today’s strong becomes tomorrow’s weak, today’s weak will be tomorrow’s strong, and protect yesterday’s strong, and vice versa. This is the best tool of a social species.
Wow that was a bad way of explaining it but I hope that made sense
TL;DR? What’s special about this instance?
It’s an incredibly active, explicitly communist instance that scares instances that are more liberal or right wing because we don’t tolerate people who use buzzwords or generalizations or just “reddit politics” speech in general.
We’re also incredibly hostile to bigotry, which turns out to scare a lot of moderators and admins that can’t directly from Reddit as they tend to have a lot of unexplored bigotry.
We’re also incredibly hostile to bigotry
So this is like an Internet battlefield? Ok cool… Now I’m going to retreat quietly like this is a boss room that I’m way underleveled for.
