Lemmy.world is dogshit. It feels like a nanny instance or like a reddit 2.0. Idk why people keep joining that bullshit instead of spreading out.
I'm so happy that I joined a small instance that hasn't defederated or been defederated from anyone
Go be a shepherd and encourage people to move elsewhere
Well it got me to move, so something is working.
Me too. I just found hexbear.net. Much better.
What’s hexbear?
Not much, what's hex with you? 🤣
I think it is an instance full of evangelical leftists?
No thank you
Gross and they replied to my comment. I need a shower now.
No evangelism of any kind--rather dirtbag leftism. Chapo Trap House is defined on Wikipedia. They've been around for a while. They've got podcasts. They write books. They're smart, well-informed, and take no prisoners. They're also comradely toward honest, curious newcomers. If one were, say, proudly liberal and sure in their understanding of history and politics, it probably wouldn't be a good fit.
Chapo Trap House lemmy.
That's what I'm doing. 2 people already said they're gonna switch!
Honestly I don’t think I want to join that server but I’m glad I don’t have to. They’re far too political out of the gate I just want a piracy focused community that unredacts that part of the internet
Hmmm, your chosen instance interests me
Haha. Nice name. Simple. Elegant. I like it.
Probably because they don't understand how federation works. People are used to signing up for centralised services, so when they come to Lemmy because of a reddit post where someone said "I just signed up at lemmy.world, it's great" and then they install an app and lemmy.world is the first instance listed, they just blindly assume that is the official/main instance that they should start with.
