I know this is like very ‘necroposting’-ish comment, but I searched this up when I was reading up on lemmy-world defederation drama again.

As a (formerly) lemm.ee and now, hexbear/lemmy.zip user I find that it is definitely a mixed bag when it comes to generalist instances like ee and zip, like as the leftist part I wondered why hexbear and lemmygrad were blocked by default, then yeah, I found the threads and posts about that.

I got it unblocked though, but I eventually decided to create one in hexbear, since I realized that it’d probably be better to have a dedicated account to leftist posting, since I want to further my connection to left communities, without having to manage my feed as much (getting like news from .world, shjustworks and grad was interesting) but I found them buried since they had less engagement than the others.
