Yet another lemmy instance proudly hosted in Montreal, Canada. Still need to get a icon created, if there are any designers here who would like to contribute please feel free to post!
This all is cool, but I’m sad the biggest instance by far is admined by tankies. Like this guy gets quickly banned for posting articles about North Korea and Russia in the world news community.
I really don’t see this popping off if new instances aren’t willing to block the “main” instance.
He didn’t get banned that quickly, he basically called out tankie propaganda for a week before they banned him.
The beauty of this platform is that we actually can block the main instance and also create as many world news communities of our own as we want. It won’t take long before the OG communities are outnumbered anyway.
The admin could block it, but it seems already too popular to block given no one else has blocked it yet and most users are on it.
They have already run out of server capacity. They have fewer than 10k users. There will almost certainly be another instance that becomes the default if the reddit exodus occurs as expected.
Also, I haven’t seen any instances of lemmy.ml being super aggressive or restrictive. Lemmygrad.ml is blocked by most instances.
If I’m being completely honest, I’ll take communists over fascists 10 times out of 10. A leftist backbone is a convenient shield against the alt-right cancer that tends to inhabit these fringe internet communities.
