I’m divided on how to handle this from a mod perspective. On the one hand - it’s derogatory and breaks rule #2. The OP also explicitly excluded Lemmy.ml. On the other hand, making me uncomfortable doesn’t break any rules and it’s a valid comment. Thoughts?
I wouldn’t take it personally if you would just feel better removing the comment? but I don’t think it’s derogatory it is just what admins views are even tho tankie is a slang world maybe I should just say red fascist?
Thanks for your comment!
According to Wikipedia, tankie is a pejorative term - belittling, disparaging, or derogatory. So, while many don’t agree with their views, I don’t see a point to being rude or cruel. We are here to share info and not to judge each other as people. If people want to avoid Lemmy.ml due to the admins or the Lemmy project due to developers’ views, that’s their call. I still don’t see a point to being rude. We also have rule #2 which is to not be offensive.
With that reasoning, I’m going to delete your comment. Feel free to reply again with the bit about your preferred instance.
Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.
I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.
I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.
I know both have very subjective ways to measure the metrics, but still, there must be some sort of answer.

Almost definitely beehaw
I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.
Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.
Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.
lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…
I’m looking for US based to avoid them. Why on earth would I want to be on an instance that’s exposed to their government requests?
Bragging about speed and uptime is a double edged sword. It will make you popular, and then you’re going to have the same scaling and DDOS attack issues as the other big communities.
Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.
