Just saw this on AskLemmy at .ml, thought this and chuckled, and now here we are.
Will take the opportunity to thank our admins for what they do, and all you humans for being here and generally being cool.
This is the best instance in fediverse in my opinion.
I'm good with my smaller community that is "seven seas friendly" in dbzer0
Hey, much respect to that.
And not a pretty company to have around ngl
This makes me wish I could currently see comments on posts on sh.itjust.works. Bug in sync is making it not work.
Why heckbear 2 times? I am confuzzled
They're just that good at posting lol
I don't know why, but I expected to see Aussie.zone here since it feels incredibly active to me haha
The Melbourne daily threads are quite something
I just want to take a moment to say your username is amazing.
Thanks, it's one of my favourite pieces of poetry
This is the instance I direct everyone to, it’s been the most reasonable AND least bothersome.
5/7
The users are users, but the admin thinks foreign countries are using gender ideology to destroy the American empire from within.
That’s not what they said though.
It is equivalent to what they said, the meaning is the same.
DM me about it or make a post in another community if you disagree with what I said. This thread isn't the place to have that discussion, it's off topic and drama-stirring.
That's what my enby pals in Amsterdam think, as well though...
Have they thanked Putin for supporting their struggle?
I'm not following as I am not Dutch and only am aware how they screwed over Africa and whitewashed it. I don't have their whole history down.
It was a joke, Putin, being a fascist, wouldn't support queer people, even in enemy countries. Your friend being nb and buying into that conspiracy is very silly.
Oh. I read your initial post as in saying that gender identities were considered bad by Russia (which, yes - I know that country is fashy) and were using them as a "weapon."
Im not seen as a specific subset like if I were to move to blahaj or Midwest (which would be my next two picks). I like being seen as 'just a person'
It, quite literally, just works.
Personally I would go with Monthly Active Users, e.g. since Hexbear has managed to run off a good fraction of its users over time (which lemmy.world is in the process of doing as well).
This puts sh.itjust.works as #4, which it's been for a good long while, above Lemmy.ml and Hexbear and nearly all other instances.
Link, but the URL does not preserve the options shown, so you have to resort by Monthly Active Users.
(which lemmy.world is in the process of doing as well)
I'm one of them. Luigi censoring was the catalyst. I came to Lemmy to get away from corporate censorship. It also doesn't help that it's slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried.
I'm surprised to hear about the slowness issue - I think this is the first time that I have, though I am definitely spoiled at Discuss.Online that has such a great technical admin (he also is the one who was developing Sublinks, before life and a baby intervened:-). Is lemm.ee much faster than lemmy.world for you?
Tbf there is legit fear in the USA that Trump will start to place bans or at least watchlists on social media outlets that Musk does not make money off of. Then again, I thought that LW wasn't really associated with the USA in any way besides having a bunch of users from it, and anyway you have found a perfect solution to the problem - if they don't want it, go somewhere else that does allow what you need.:-)
Is lemm.ee much faster than lemmy.world for you?
Yes, MUCH. Sh.itjust.works is much faster as well. I don't know if it's because LW is still on 0.19.3 or what, but it's a very significant difference.
LW isn't associated with the US except for the fact that they're keen to kowtow to corporate censorship to avoid being sued and the like. Since they're by far the most visible instance on Lemmy I can't really blame them and it's probably better that they're more cautious to possibly take some of the heat off of everyone else. As you said, they didn't serve my needs, so I went elsewhere - having that option is what I love about the fediverse.
If LW helped you migrate from Reddit to the Threadiverse until you knew more what you were looking for and could find a true home in lemm.ee that meets your needs better, then both of them sound awesome at their respective roles to me.:-)
Lemmy.world has become a pro-censorship toxic shithole lately. Sooo glad I was made to find other instances.
Beauty of the fediverse.. If one place sucks, just find a different one 😊
Yeah... I'm actually okay with censorship so long as it is clearly explained in advance and fairly applied - then again, I don't necessarily want to join it either, just saying that I'm okay that it exists... over there somewhere (away from me:-).
dang I did not expect .ee to be on top behind .nsfw
At a guess, bc it doesn't have that many communities on it?
Efforts are underway to change that but yeah it definitely lacks the same punch as others - like sh.itjust.works has 5 communities that are each larger, some by almost 3 times, than the absolute largest one on lemm.ee.
That instance seems not so much a "source" of content across the Fediverse as a "destination" for posts made to communities elsewhere.
Then again, very little else compares to Lemmy.World in that regard - it has another 10 communities each larger, some twice as large, as sh.itjust.works does. It would be healthier for the network effects to split that up a bit more... but fortunately their upgrade process over the next few months should help a little.
Man, I just wanted to chant "We're #5", now I have people coming at me with facts. :p
(Jokes aside, I appreciate it. There's nuance to these metrics and what best accounts for 'size', particularly for those cases/services where the metrics reflect a little bugginess anyway)
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
