      The key word is avoid, I still go to these places. Also, we don’t know who instances are ultimately ran by. Having said that, still lemmy is way better than reddit which I avoid almost completely. I can only come up with 4:

      • LemmyWorld- They curate their front page and at the very least, have rogue admin
      • ml - They have a trolling vibe and get angry easily
      • hexbear - not federated with my instance
      • maga - not federated

          I haven’t been here or know enough to truly understand but I think you can create an instance about pretty much anything provided it’s legal.

          MAGA, despite it standing for what it does isn’t illegal. It just gets defederated by other instances.

          That’s the opinion of a loose Aussie cunt booted from Reddit though so salt that heavily as you wish.

        ml definitely has that vibe. Mods there got weird standards on what breaks the rules and what doesn’t.

        Thanks. Although I was sort of just making a joke with my comment. I have seen a bit of ml and hex, but ended up just ignoring them haha. Thanks for your advice though.

          There are ways to transfer your settings, but I think that’s it. If you’re already there, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

          They have such a large proportion of lemmy, that’s how they can control the front page. If you get friends to join, make sure they try either another instance or maybe piefed? That way, they won’t have as much power. Try to post to other instance communities, regardless of what instance you’re on.

          You probably won’t have any issues with the admin, I was watching them carefully when I was there because I they were acting wild from the get go. They were deleting my posts days later for some reason? That admin is still there. I love sh.itjust.works, but I want to try piefed.

      Yeah, that’s the definitely-not-costal city to the north-west of the also-definitely-not-costal city of Chicago, right?

    It’s me. I’m the demonic spirit.

    Looking for a new body btw if we have any volunteers. It’s really hard to type without one…
