My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or “how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme”.

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right
Lemmygrad Exploding Heads
Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world
Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
50 points

Blahaj zone and beehaw don’t abuse defederation. Both instances use it for the exact purpose needed to achieve their goals. And I like that.

Literally the main reason I’m on blahaj zone is because I’m a trans lesbian and really don’t want to deal with the shit I’ve seen on the blocked instances.

The whole point of the fediverse is you join one that aligns with your values and queer phobic stuff is a hard line nope from me. It’s like the one place I feel reporting stuff actually does something.

Beehaw even said they’ll refederate with certain instances if/when moderation tools improve. The main problem is that there’s not a lot you can do to block off problematic users from instances on an individual basis.

I don’t disagree with that, I even said that much in the blahaj quadrant. I just wish there was an easier way to fix these problems instead of burning bridges, because they sure burn a lot of them.

Burnt bridges can’t be rebuilt. Refederation is always a possibility.

Beehaw has said they won’t defederate until Lemmy has better moderation tools. Which is something that is totally out of our control. I have no idea of better moderation tools or even on the road map and if they are I have no idea where on the road map they are.

If people took more than 30 seconds to read instead of being immediately reactionary, they’d have long since known beehaw’s defederations are due to a lack of lemmy’s own moderation tools currently.

But you can’t expect anyone to read anything. 😅

I did read their entire statement, and while I can understand the reasoning behind it, I don’t agree with their whole defederation thing they have going on

Gotta be an ass? Leave that shit in your last social media of choice.

If that comment was enough to get you this upset, I don’t think you’re gonna last on any “social media of choice.” Better get out while you still can. 👀

Political compass is a cringe concept ngl

Believing in it is. As a tool of expression it has limited uses. But ultimately it’s an abstraction ungrounded from objective reality.

hmm yes sadly Sync doesn’t have that option yet. But that combined with a browser extension to filter posts on the website could work fine tho

Yes it is. Hopefully with 0.18.5, I’d like to think it’s been made a higher priority now.

This compass is almost as stupid as the original political compass. Nice work with this unscientific filth.

I bet OP’s understanding of politics can be succinctly summarized by this video lol

Like in what world does lemmy.world lean to the right? It’s full of leftists and liberals, I think I’ve seen like two people who sounded like they leaned to the right.

I think lemmy.world is just labeled slightly rightwing because of blocking the piracy communities.
