Oh, why’d you switch? Not that world is bad, but why world of all places? :0
World is bad. Why world of all places?
I saw some people saying violet’s old instance was a troll instance and that’s proof she’s not who she says she is. Weird but okay. I guess world is the most normal instance, and the intent is to dispel those accusations.
Aren’t we all just trolling ourselves, at some level?
I used to have an account on Today and it gets janky every once in a while and just goes down for an hour or two. I literally did the same.
What was the old instance?
What’s the difference between instances? I was under the impression there was no functional difference?
Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.
For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.
I have found blahaj to be… Exclusionary in the usual lgtqa ways.
Man, if you feel excluded by shitposters on a website, imagine how excluded you would feel being lgbtqa in a country where 40% of people think you are an evil disgusting degenerate who will go to hell forever.
Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.
Ugh. This is still the issue with Lemmy, confusing instances, somewhat random federations, strong cultural differences.
I used to like my instance but now it is done.
Just constantly a mess to be social here.
That explains why people have been hostile to me by default even though I presented a balanced front (in my eyes)
Yahhhhh. It’s a rough situation to be a non tankie on a tankie instance.
The issue is that the great majority of users there have very “out there” opinions and more and more of them are trying to be more subtle about it.
Avg .ml user: Long winded post about why war is bad Avg responder: I agree war should be avoided for the harm it causes. Avg .ml user: Therefore we all must support Russia against the imperialist Ukrainians! Avg responder: Russia started the war. Why should we support them? Avg .ml user: Because NATO forced Russia to invade. In reality it was NATOs fault! Avg responder: I wasted my time here. No point in arguing.
The average non .ml user has been through this or seen this enough to be cautious of seemingly reasonable balanced arguments from .ml users.
I totally get staying, but personally if I woke up and my account was on .ml I would move.
some admins have their heads further up their asses. on world you’re less likely to interact with them
Debatable.

honestly deleting my account was a spur of the moment thing. then i got bored cause no other platform satisfies my pseudoblogging needs like this one. i went with this instance for my new account cause it’s the biggest/most popular & it was the first one that came to mind.

Thank you for replying and it is great to see you back to shitposting again. It is a breath of fresh air with all the politics and tech posts.

.world? You’ll switch once the asshole mods try to make an example of you because someone’s being a moron and you call them out on it and that moron gets their feelings hurt instead of feeling shame and eventually understanding what they’re doing is idiotic.

I notice all the downvotes. Mods, amounts, or morons who haven’t had the misfortune ganging up on you?

Mods. Point out someone’s being silly trying to circumvent AI scraping their comments and they get pissy because you’re only doing it to that one person.

I’ve been here for years now and I can be both salty and rude. Other than mods ON OTHER INSTANCES kicking me out of their little feifdoms I’ve never interacted with any mods.
