i don’t blame them, you monster

feddit.uk if you’re in the UK

You best either be pro “communist” or not really talk about politics at all of you want to go to lemmy.ml

It’s run by the same people who run lemmygrad and their moderation policies reflect that

you could look for instances with no stated political goals.

I’m on a general instance for UK people. do the admins have biases? probably. but as far as i can tell it’s not an instance with a political goal.

Above all avoid the tankie triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net are not recommended unless you’re into… that sort of thing

basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.

as for which instance; where you from? what you into?

i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though… which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years

Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move

i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation… “policies”

i can see my instance from here

First time i have posted on anything resembling insta in 111 weeks

i think that will end up pushing discourse on your site towards negativity

This was over a year ago now Jerboa may well be in a better state now. I can’t remember specific bugs but they were frequent and serious enough to frustrate me, a professional software tester, enough to move to a different app.

I started on jerboa, but ended up moving to connect because of the bugs.

i’ve seen you say this more than once. do you have a source?

There’s plenty of moderation there, it’s just highly biased.

There aren’t enough users on lemmy for a state actor to bother putting resources into controlling the narrative.

Why waste time on a few thousand lemmy users when there are literally millions of gullible boomers on facebook that actually vote based on what they consume on social media?

you can’t trust anyone to maintain source indefinitely. forking now just means everything has to be done twice

You don’t need to do a full lemmy code fork ffs. The problem is moderation style of a specific instance, just set up a new instance and defed from the problem instances.

Lemmy is open source, anyone can fork it and start running “modified code”. it’s not like they have a monopoly on that

Yes, an admin probably has access to community level moderation rights and the lemmy API is not difficult to figure out.

It would be trivial to come up with a script to go through the community page, get all the current communities and iterate through them banning a user in each of them.

Lemmy is far too small for any actual organized propaganda machines to target. These people are just zealots

i’ve noticed a butt load of lemmygrad names appearing as lemmy.ml these days. Seems they got tired of existing in their little de-federated bubble
