I've slowly become familiar with lemmy and learned the things like blahajj is an ally of trans but hides downvotes and kbin shows how you vote to others etcetc. i don't even know what hexbear is but hear it's ideologically wonky.
Lots of Lemmy instances basically have some decent aspects, but then something about them is a total dealbreaker.
I've started looking at moderation histories when coming across content removed by moderators and am now able to distinguish instances where ideologies not aligned with their admins get censored. I first noticed it when checking why certain posts were removed on Lemmy.ml and had to research lemmy.ml to understand they purposely are a socialist communist niche community so they basically remove content they don't want. I had a run in with a drama on Lemmy.world and curiously checked their mod log to realize that they actually quite often remove comments that don't match their ideology (along with finding controversial historical actions of .world).
So after all this getting to know instances involved in lemmy, you know which one has no weird dealbreaker attributes that I know of? I just realized tonight which one it is...
sh.itjust.works
So cheers everyone.
Admins and Mods here you are doing great. Community, you are doing great too. grats on being the best instance
Maybe. Sh is an ~~unpopular~~ uncommonly used shell, though many scripts are made sh compatible for wide compatibility
Huh?

The Bash Shell, or simply “Bash“, stands for “Bourne Again SHell“. It’s an enhancement of the original Bourne Shell (sh) and was introduced in 1989 by Brian Fox.
Over the years, Bash has become one of the most popular and widely used command-line interpreters on many Linux distributions and macOS (until Catalina, after which it was replaced by zsh).
Yes. Bash is descended from sh, and will run sh scripts, but it isn't sh
Oh. Thank you, I just thought the sh was the file extension used for bash, did not realize it was the precursor.
Linux uses "magic numbers" to determine file types, extensions are just for people who like them and MS Windows
For shell scripts the magic number is '#!' and is always followed by the path to the shell that interprets the script type (eg the first line might be '#!/bin/bash')
I partially knew that; file names and extensions being cosmetic. I appreciate the deeper explanation on that and why bash scripts start with #!/bin/bash. I knew it was necessary but not exactly why.
