hexbear is but hear it's ideologically wonky.
Understatement of the year LMAO
lemmy.ml to understand they purposely are a socialist communist niche community so they basically remove content they don't want.
Uh nah, they're tankies, they're authoritarian communists essentially
uh I just picked lemmy.ml pretty randomly when I moved from Reddit, though I specifically picked it over lemmygrad because I'd heard lemmygrad was full of tankies. personally, I'm a left libertarian. I'm not auth at all.
I think you might be overestimating how much a user's home lemmy indicates their ideology.
.ml is a tankie instance not because of the bulk of the users, I do not judge any user, .ml or otherwise, until I have seen them or seen evidence of them commenting Tankie ideology or defending it.
.ml is deemed a tankie instance because the admins and many of the mods not only are hardcore tankies themselves but also enforce the ideology throughout their instance via admin/mod action
.ml is the most subtle of the Tankie Triad and because they host some official Lemmy support comms often get treated with "kid gloves" by the other instances and don't get defed'd from like the rest of the tankie triad does (Hexbear and Lemmygrad)
Checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if you want to see more
Actually, because the .ml admins block that comm so you can't see it, you'll need to use this link through another instance: https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
State socialists, if you like. It's an oxymoron, but some still seem to choose it.
All votes are public on lemmy, no matter what instance. It’s how federation works.
Shit just works, it's in the name.
Shhhh it just works
This place and dbzer0 are my favorites.
I'm still new but enjoying dbzer0. I heard of it because someone said that lemmy.world blocks its pirate community, so of course I had to sign up there immediately.
This is also why I'm here instead of on .world
I started on .world when I first learned about Lemmy, but recently found dbzer0 and realized I finally found my people.
I chose it for the clever URL not knowing much when I first came to lemmy. Happy circumstance that it ended up being a solid choice. :)
Cheers to the mods and admins for making this a great place.
It's because this place is run by TheDude. As we all know: TheDude abides.
The Canadian lemmy instance lemmy.ca is pretty cool. (Though sh.itjust.works is also Canadian)
They put up with my ass here, so that must mean it's great, right?
Right?
It’s a chill instance. 10/10 admins!
I don't think it would be fair to credit sh.it just.works as the only instance with no dealbreaker, but it has served me very well ever since the reddit api changes.
Here is where I started, here my I be hurried. Love the ethos, love the mods, love the stability! (Great job @TheDude@sh.itjust.works).
Also, SJWBot still makes me laugh every time I see it.
sopuli.xyz and feddit.org are also pretty decent IMO.
The instance admin commented on rules a while back: "Number one rule is to not make us ban you". And I think that tends to curate a userbase that are able to behave themselves without needing a defined set of rules to live by. Rules are one thing, but if you need common sense spelled out for you, you're probably not the kind of user I need/want around anyway.
My only requirements for an instance are:
It works
It's not run by or full of fascists
It's furry
There were two choices. Now there is one. Thankfully the other one only fails item 1.
But this instance is cool, too. And db0.
Db0 is pretty fucking dope ngl. Their piracy megathread alone brings them over the top. The lack of censorship is just icing on the cake.
This place is cool. Thanks admins for your great work
lol exactly why i came here but juste used the ~vibe~ -o-meter to know it was here that the internet should just be a stupid forum for stupid posts for stupid people stupid is interchangeable with funny
sopuli is chill
♥️
I came here since Reddit killed third party apps, so I don't even remember how I chose my instance anymore. I guess someone recommended sh.itjust.works somewhere? Tbh I don't know a lot of the differences between instances (except some well known ones like tankie .ml), but I have no complaints about this instance I'm on. Although I'm not really super active, in all fairness.
I don't mind sh.itjust.works, but it has a distinct younger bias. Lemmy in general lacks a lot of diverse depth, but that is a byproduct of size.
For someone a little older than most on sh.itjust.works, the tendency towards more shallow and emotional interactions is not the best for me in social isolation from physical disability. It is hard to discern the age, intentions, and depth of people based on a few sentences here and there.
If Beehaw had remained federated with most, that is where I am most aligned. I stay on LW because of mod communities and the Alexandrite front end is my favorite. I have accounts on most instances and have tried using some of them for stretches. My main thing is that I honestly try to always show the best intentions and act in good faith. If I see moderators or Admin in my interactions something is fundamentally wrong. The average person, like this, should never see admin or mods actions. From that perspective, I have no issues with LW. I don't always agree with Admin and I know at least one doesn't agree with me, but that kind of diversity is fine with me. I see the good and the bad of capitalism and tankies. In both cases I am anti authoritarian. I know I don't have all the answers but I am damn sure that neither does anyone else.
I don't think there is a perfect instance because we are all a spectrum of differences, but I'm glad you have a perfect home for you Allo.
;-)
What does the AI image have to do with the rest of the comment (or the spoiler warning)? And was it intended to seem to depict a young girl with semen on her legs?
I hope there is some point I am missing, because that just gives me an ick.
Why would you care about people seeing how you vote? Have courage in your convictions
So how does that lemmy work? do I need a whole nother login for that? Some people mention lemm.ee would i need a new sign in for that as well?
This post was made on that instance. Federation is why you see it and can comment on it. You have access to see all of their posts and comments and can interact unless your instance .world in this case gets defederated from their instance. You do not need any new logins to participate with their instance. It will show up in your feed on w.e app you prefer to use. (Same goes for lemm.ee)
Defederation is essentially a block made of an entire instance. Sometimes it is done to prevent future issues, and sometimes it is done because idiological differences. An example of the first is threads being built into the fedeverse. It has so many users that it would effectively nudge out all smaller instances and eventually start putting ads back in and w.e they want to make money and do whatever they choose to manipulate the users. So many instances have pre-set their instances to not allow federation with threads when it eventually connects. The second example was ideology, which the user mentioned .hexbear. They are a group of people who are often misrepresented but have no problems with commenting death to America over and over again. Some of them are trolls, some are not, but in the end many instances defederated from them because they didn't want to deal with all the issues and people bitching all the time. World is the largest instance by a good amount last I checked. (Probably to large ratio wise). You shouldn't have issues there. When someone posts a comment on dbzero, it'll show in your stuff.
Some other things instances vary on is, upvotes, downvotes, no votes, and perpetual scrolling. (Though many apps have that choice as well). Some people worry about mental impacts of perpetual scrolling so they limit it. Some instances don't show the votes, and some only show the upvotes as they believe it helps promote discussion as opposed to just downvoting something you don't like and moving on. This also makes situations where someone may not realize 184 people downvotes and 1 person upvoted and since they are new to a topic, may not be able to tell it may not be based on truth or agree with public opinion or what not.
The one thing people SHOULD realize. No matter what your instance shows you, upvotes, downvotes and by who ARE recorded and sent by Lemmy through federation as part of how it works. So when you upvotes a comment, there are people out there that know YOUR user name in specific upvotes that comment. They can see a list of every vote. This also goes for downvotes. Most every instance has turned this view off for users so people don't get upset at someone and follows them around nagging them and what not. That said. The data still exists and is transferred through federation otherwise it cannot keep track of up/down votes, because otherwise it would just go up or down every time you hit the button it has to say "Freddy.world" has already voted.
So now if you don't understand how scary that is yet. Just note that bad actors can spin up an instance, federate and know the username who up/downvoted say a post about Trump being a dictator. If you are not using a VPN at all times, your IP address is going to get caught up being tied to your account. So they have that account connected to your phone (and government will know the home address)
Have fun out there, but it's always nice to understand how things work. (Upvoted a nude, I'm sure someone can create a database and log all of it fairly easily.).
You can communicate with either using your existing account as we are doing now.
If you prefer an instance's rules or vibes you can choose to make one your home by making an account there, but otherwise we're all federated and you can engage from whichever.
as a shit user i think shit is the best instance for no reason in particular at all
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
