What instances would you recommend? I don’t really want to leave mine since I’ve been on it for awhile but if it gets too annoying I might want to
Blahaj.zone is defederated (hexbear did it first surprisingly). It's a very LGBTQ+ oriented place so I'm not sure it's your cup of tea
It seems like a very nice place, I’ll be sure to check it out some more
I find that interesting because i am banned from blahaj for being a conservative but hexbears swear im a white liberal. I would have thought hexbears and blahaj would get along nicely
When they call you a liberal, they're referring to the classical meaning of the term rather than the newer definitions.
I think you’re giving them too much credit. They’re just trolling and being very annoying.
I only started trolling because of their relentless abuse. I learned they dont know how to respond if you act stupid and I found that funny
They are saying I advocate free market and laissez-faire economics, civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Is that right? As opposed to what
I think commenter above means, as opposed to the US-american re-definition of liberal = "Democrat", somehow. Since the Trump party is absolutist leaning, this makes sense fr them ... somehow.
No you're not?
Sorry you are right. I only associate 196 with blahaj so me being banned there makes me not have any reason to be at blahaj. I was one of the lucky few that was given a 2 year ban. The reason was "stirring up trouble tankie style"
If you don't want to move instances, you can probably reduce 99% of annoying Hexbear shitposts by blocking just 3 communities:
They're by far the noisiest, in my experience.
You still get their comments when they bridgade normal posts.
Yes, that is unfortunately true.
I like lemmy.ca pretty well. I've just recently learned that lemmy.world is defederated, but they're already one of the biggest instances. All I did was browse https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, sorted by usage and skipped the top few entries, and checked each instance to see if they'd defederated. I tried to go smaller than lemmy.ca but I got bored lol
