Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

  Lemmy.world – biggest, defaultest instance. All the pros and cons associated with that

  Lemmy.ml – very authoritarian leftist instance. Has a tankie problem but also has cool communists. Has heavy censorship

  Lemmy.blahaj.zone – trans focused, very queer, authoritarian by nature of being a trans safe space. Generally chiller but contradictorily also the center of a lot of drama, because people love to hate trans safe apaces.

  dbzero – don’t remember the actual domain, run by dbZ. Anarchist democracy instance, very cool and chill, it’s what I’d sign up on if I started afresh

  sh.itjust.works – tbh don’t know much about them but pretty straightforward, is what the label aays, it just works

  Hexbear – wver wanted to see a aerver that unironically loves the chinese communist party and thinks north korea is aspirational? There you go

  pawb.social – I think this might be am mbin instance instead of a lemmy instance but I’m not sure. Can be summarized as " the furry one"

  lemmynsfw – the porn one. Most instances are defederated feom it

  Those are the ones foremost in my mind. Tons of small European ones that are focused on specific countries too. I anticipate replies giving me shit for uttering the word “tankie”.

    I wouldn’t describe it as authoritarian. That implies unjust use of authority. Their harshness towards transphobes is justified and necessary, because transphobes are an existential threat towards trans people, and queer people as a whole. It’s not authoritarian, it’s protective.

      Mood, we’re on the same page the word authoritarian just has a bit different meaning to me

      I think I know why authoritarian has different connotations, specifically not inherently negative to me–stellaris! When setting up your civilization in stellaris, there are several… factors? you can base them on, each one has an opposite. Materialist vs spiritualist, militarist vs pacifist, xenophobe vs xenophile, and authoritarian vs egalitarian. I’m used to the word in the context of a descriptive spectrum, not inherently good or bad. (Usually bad in the context of irl stuff, that just doesn’t seem to be where my mind goes first) Just thought you might find it neat

    can you explain a little bit more on why you think lemmy.blahaj.zone is authoritarian please?

    • SorteKanin@feddit.dk ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think they just mean that it’s heavily moderated and principled. Which is fine and kind of the point.

        Yep exactly pretty much

      Sure. Transphobia is straight up not tolerated at all. There is zero room for discussion. It’s not something a community on bz can allow, it’s ada’s mission statement that bz is a safe space for trans people, end of story. That’s why I love it and use it. I wouldn’t call it censorship heavy, at least not in the aame way ml and the like are. You can criticize and bitch about ada and her actions as much as you want, you won’t get silenced. However, I’d still absolutely place it on the authoritarian end of the spectrum compared to a place like dbzero. I call it authoritarian but it’s not a negative thing, it’s why I use it. It’s it done right. Idk maybe I have different connotations for the instance and for the word authoritarian than you/most people, I hope this clears up what I mean

      If you don’t have extremely strict rules about gender or transgender discrimination or speech in general, then they want to fight you like you’re doing a genocide.

      It doesn’t sound bad in practice but in reality, you get trashtalked for not understanding their vocabulary or not agreeing with them. Respectful debates aren’t possible because they don’t respect any other opinion than theirs.

      It’s just a big echo chamber and Ada is a clown avid of power that loves to threaten others with her powers. That’s just my opinion though.

        I’m sick of respectful debates about my right to exist. That’s what blahaj zone is for, and it does it well.

        There are plenty of respectful debates about trans issues, and tolerance of people genuinely not understanding queer topics. What cannot be debated respectfully is whatever or not to respect a person"s identity. No amount of polite language can make such a conversation respectful, as you’re refusing to do the bare minimum required to speak to that person as an equal.

        Creating a tolerant space requires not tolerating intolerance. This is not an authoritarian insight, but one centered on maximizing the freedom of everyone. If you demand a space where you can debate a basic fact about myself, then that is not a space in which I am free.

      They have a pro-monarchy community (shera), which isn’t great.

    dbzero hates crypto for some reason and I don’t believe admins should voice their opinion in this way

      Do go on, you are just making dbzero seem like a cooler place.

      Why not? Not every instance has to be neutral on all points.

        I’m a bit dissapointed that it’s not obviously stated

  I would just look for an instance that doesn’t prioritize propaganda buzzwords like “freedom”

  hexbear is ultra-left wing so you might see the same type of arguments right wingers use,
