I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

      .ml isn’t significantly worse than hexbear, beehaw, or blahaj.

      All of them love censorship to support their narrative.

      Censuring completely defederates an instance (at least with threativore) and most instances aren’t defederated with ml anyway, so this makes sense:)

      It has recieved two hesitations tho, which are like censures but without defederation

        Ah I see. I didn’t realize a censure had a technical component. That being said, by this point not much would be lost with a defederation from ML.

        Still a mere two hesitations and tons of endorsements (including DB0).

        ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.

        Sure, they deny this, but from memory all of the Nazis at Nuremberg pleaded not guilty.

            I love how tankies are obsessed with 80s red scare and McCarthy.

            You can’t even see the irony in your statement.

              Why wouldn’t we be? We were assassinated & imprisoned & COINTELPROd & slandered & libeled & blacklisted from gainful employment, which damaged all of the US working class’ leverage irreparably, irrespective of each worker’s political leanings.

                I was referring to your keyboard warrior [*] buddy not seeing the irony of calling me a “red scare grandma”.

                Você tem sorte de que eu estou milhares de km de distância, senão iria te trazer aqui pra mostrar na prática o que lixos como você estão fazendo com o mundo. Seu bunda mole de merda.

                [Translation] You’re lucky I’m thousands of kilometers away, otherwise I’d bring you here to show you firsthand what scumbags like you are doing to the world. You fucking softie.

                That’s another thing I find fascinating about red fash scum, the constant projection of ignorance and provincialism.

                Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.

                Same with Cuba or even Syria. It’s almost certain that none of the tankies have ever spoken to a person from Cuba, let alone being friends with them and yet they are convinced that “Cuba is a democracy!” and “Everyone loves the regime!”.

                Or this individual talking about the global south.

                Come on man, we both know you don’t know shit and you’re merely roleplaying as a commie on the internet. A pro-genocide, pro-imperialism, pro-authoritarianism commie no less!

      People probably don’t want to defederate the flagship instance owned by the devs of the software they’re using.
