honestly deleting my account was a spur of the moment thing. then i got bored cause no other platform satisfies my pseudoblogging needs like this one. i went with this instance for my new account cause it’s the biggest/most popular & it was the first one that came to mind.
.world? You’ll switch once the asshole mods try to make an example of you because someone’s being a moron and you call them out on it and that moron gets their feelings hurt instead of feeling shame and eventually understanding what they’re doing is idiotic.
Mods. Point out someone’s being silly trying to circumvent AI scraping their comments and they get pissy because you’re only doing it to that one person.
Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.
For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.
Man, if you feel excluded by shitposters on a website, imagine how excluded you would feel being lgbtqa in a country where 40% of people think you are an evil disgusting degenerate who will go to hell forever.
Now imagine living somewhere where 75%of people belong to the same damn cult and about half of people want to kill you because your existence disproves their culty religion.
Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.
Which explains why they hate bi men, nonbinary folk and intersex people so persistently. Not queer enough for y’all. Hence why I left them out of the acronym.
Bigotry towards bi men and non-binary folk seems very much not like them.
Are you a bi man or non-binary person? If so I would be interested hearing what sort of discrimination you faced at blahaj. I recommend them quite a bit but would rather not if they are hateful in that way.
Yahhhhh. It’s a rough situation to be a non tankie on a tankie instance.
The issue is that a lot? a majority? a great majority? of users there have very “out there” opinions and more and more of them are trying to be more subtle about it.
I saw some people saying violet’s old instance was a troll instance and that’s proof she’s not who she says she is. Weird but okay. I guess world is the most normal instance, and the intent is to dispel those accusations.
Oh, why’d you switch? Not that world is bad, but why world of all places? :0

Thank you for replying and it is great to see you back to shitposting again. It is a breath of fresh air with all the politics and tech posts.
.world? You’ll switch once the asshole mods try to make an example of you because someone’s being a moron and you call them out on it and that moron gets their feelings hurt instead of feeling shame and eventually understanding what they’re doing is idiotic.
I notice all the downvotes. Mods, admins, or morons who haven’t had the misfortune ganging up on you?

Now now, there are plenty of brittle morons on dbzero

it’s all lost now
Thanks for coming back. It sucks a lot more here without your shitposting :)
What about PieFed?
What’s the difference between instances? I was under the impression there was no functional difference?

I have found blahaj to be… Exclusionary in the usual lgtqa ways.

Don’t have to imagine dude.

I’m sorry. I’m not on blahaj.

First, do I have to be a bi man or nonbinary to care about bigotry toward them?
No, but I’ve seen my fair share of concern trolling.
I am neither a bi man nor nonbinary and care, but I value my time.
Ugh. This is still the issue with Lemmy, confusing instances, somewhat random federations, strong cultural differences.
I used to like my instance but now it is done.
Just constantly a mess to be social here.
That explains why people have been hostile to me by default even though I presented a balanced front (in my eyes)

Avg .ml user: Long winded post about why war is bad Avg responder: I agree war should be avoided for the harm it causes. Avg .ml user: Therefore we all must support Russia against the imperialist Ukrainians! Avg responder: Russia started the war. Why should we support them? Avg .ml user: Because NATO forced Russia to invade. In reality it was NATOs fault! Avg responder: I wasted my time here. No point in arguing.The average non .ml user has been through this or seen this enough to be cautious of seemingly reasonable balanced arguments from .ml users.
I totally get staying, but personally if I woke up and my account was on .ml I would move.
some admins have their heads further up their asses. on world you’re less likely to interact with them
Debatable.
World is bad. Why world of all places?
guess
I saw some people saying violet’s old instance was a troll instance and that’s proof she’s not who she says she is. Weird but okay. I guess world is the most normal instance, and the intent is to dispel those accusations.
Aren’t we all just trolling ourselves, at some level?
I used to have an account on Today and it gets janky every once in a while and just goes down for an hour or two. I literally did the same.
What was the old instance?
