Comment on United Leftists of Hilarious Chaos
colforge@lemmy.world 2 days agoThere’s literally no posts in the linked community but I’m happy to have been informed that the instance is a revival of Exploding Heads, an instance I have previously formed my own opinions on, as you suggest. Knowledge is power.

What’s exploding heads?

The forefather of your current instance but with even more trolling and right-wing extremism.

Yeah trolling is a whatever issue for me, I’m not bothered by it. I haven’t seen any right wing extremism stuff. I am blatantly leftist and haven’t been kicked out of hc. I think tolerance of leftism sorta disqualifies it from being extremist lmao. I didn’t realise so many instances de-federated from hc. When I had my account deleted from lemm.ee with no warning for expressing my disapproval of moderators I joined hc. I’d had fun interactions with Alice before and the instance description stated they had a free speech policy (paraphrasing) so I joined up. There’s a few things I dislike such as downvotes not being visible but when I brought that up the whole community actually had a discussion about it which I’d never experienced before and made me feel like I was actually part of a community. I’ll think about trying out another instance to see if being de-federated from really bothers me. Ideally I want to be able to talk with as many people as possible.

The discussion of exploding-heads on sh.itjust.works before they defederated is pretty interesting: sh.itjust.works/post/564252 If you can’t see that link bc of defederation, look at it anonymously or on a web browser.
When lemmy.world defederated, there were some examples of why, though the discussion isn’t as interesting: lemmy.world/post/747912
