Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?

blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.
dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.
slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.
lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances[^1], and few instances are defederated from it. The only ones defederated from it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.
Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only defederated from lemmy.world, and lemmygrad is only defederated from porn and fascist instances.
[^1]: For instance, hilariouschaos, the successor to explodingheads.
lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist.
Saying ML is socialist (which it’s not, it’s a tankie instance) is de facto discrediting socialism.
It’s like saying that socialists oppose any criticism of russia and china (authoritarian, imperialist, hyper-capitalist oligarchic countries that have nothing to do with socialism) and socialist only read Russia Today.
There are actual socialists here! We just aren’t as loud as the tankies.
Then why partake in ML?
Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world
Hexbear runs an allowlist, they only federate with instances they select.
Oh yeah you’re probably right. Last time I checked that was true.
Wait, why does lemmy.ml block infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe and programming.dev? All these seem innocuous?
It doesn’t block them; they block it.
