  Well, luckily, you can make an account elsewhere and not have people assume you’re an asshole because you associate (unknowingly) with assholes

    This is, why Lemmy will probably never be successful. People are told to choose any instance and they choose the biggest ones, because that’s also probably the one with the most content and activity. And after that other people will tell them they made a bad choice and it’s their own fault.

      Even the devs are fucking tankies. I’m thinking of moving to PieFed and hope for the best. Been hopping websites all my life anyway.

        What’s the easiest way to switch instances? I didn’t know any of this. I just wanted to get away from reddit and still engage with communities focused on my hobbies… 😔

      I’m pretty sure I used the word “unknowingly” there, meaning that they’re not to blame for the first choice, merely for continuing to do so now.

  I did the same, but I never had any negative interactions on .ml tho. The folks over on Hexbear are a different kind of strange, but harmless in the end, and of course you regularly read bullshit on all instances, but it’s just different tastes of shit, the ammount stays the same. After I switched from Reddit to Lemmy I started to encounter such a plethora of different opinions, it’s insane! :D If the deal is that from time to time I have to tolerate some idiot picking a fight about communism or Russia or Gaza or China etc., I gladly accept. One Thing you really have to give too all the tankies is that (on average) they are far more likely to cite sources for their claims. Do they do it so you can learn, or to smugly proof a point? I don’t care

  This is one of the downsides to Lemmy, you’re expected to understand what the hell an instance is before you even use the platform.
