I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
If you join a server that blocks many other instances or have personally block other communities, users or instances, then you are part of the problem.
Is lemmy.world one that illegitimately blocks many communities?
I think they were mostly reasonable, with some complaints like how they banned piracy communities for a while and also banned/removed a community about magic mushrooms.
I disagreed with their federating with Threads, so I hopped over onto feddit.de because they are defederated from Threads and tankie instances. That’s the beauty of the fediverse tho.
But you can view the de/federated instances lists for every instance and see if you agree with it. Different apps may have different routes/capability, so I’d recommend opening it in a browser and scrolling to the bottom of the page to find the link: “instances”
To make it easier for you, here’s the instances list for lemmy.world.
that’s the same list i just replied 7 minutes ago lol
I wish there was an anchor that just lets you skip to the bottom.
Ah, yeah I had the comments of this post open for longer than 6 minutes, so your comment wasn’t visible to me.
Yes.
Looking at the list of blocked instances (scroll to the bottom), most of these are blocked for incredible NSFW or MAGA. There are extremely few I don’t understand, such as kbin.cafe and some foreign-language instances that seem okay. Could you explain your rationale?
