But that’s infrastructure redundancy, it should rather happen there than at the Lemmy level, no?
- Comment on [sh.it.post] We're #5! We're #5! 1 week ago:
It would be nice to see a way of unifying communities on multiple instances for redundancy and improving the situation with redundant communities across instances.
It’s really on the mods to accept to consolidate in one community.
All the issues you mention in your other paragraph are why this is probably never going to happen.

Your instance defederates from hexbear and grad already. You can choose to block ml in your account settings

They really aren’t, 4k monthly active users out of 43k

20th by monthly active users, accounting for hexbear double entry
Definitely a good position

It only takes a few bad actors to ruin this entire thing and send us right back to the corporate run highly censored bullshit.
There are enough good actors to keep us safe

Good luck on your search!

There seems to be issues indeed: …lem.rocks/…/federation-health-single-instance-ov…
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
It’s the fact that I am an admin that led me to speak out, because I feel like these behaviors are harmful to my users who I’m supposed to advocate for and protect, and harmful to the success of Lemmy, which I’m deeply invested in through my role as an admin.
The intent might be good, but the execution was definitely lacking. And why can’t normal users advocate for Lemmy? Is that an admin privilege?
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
only to get shoved off the path by tankies and others who continually abuse them
Have you considered defederating SJW from Lemmy.ml? That would be a bold move, but could help in this context
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
I personally mod using alts, to limit the reach of potential drama should I have controversial takes, or heated discussions with other users.
As you probably noticed, one of the element that made the drama blow up was you making derogatory comments using your admin account. Would this has been on a normal account, the impact would probably have been much lower.
Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip usually get praised on their invisible admins. You see them post the updates about the servers from time to time, but that’s it.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
I look at a lot of your measured responses and always tell myself that I should respond to people that way. But I never do, cuz I also devolve and always end up saying shit like, “You keep crying. I’ll keep posting. Please block me if you don’t like me.” lmao
Quoting this for posterity.

Hopefully that allows you to stay. I recently posted a list of 20 non political communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if that can help
Thank you for your nice comment!

Before going further, may I ask you where you are from? Would help to see which country’s historical racism can be used to evidence that racism was everywhere during human history.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried blocking political and news communities? That helps to reduce this kind of content
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Both can be true, depends on the country.
In Spain for instance 58% of the population supports maintaining the monarchy: euroweeklynews.com/…/what-does-spain-think-about-…
But to be honest, the whole monarchy thing is exaggerated when you look at the map
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
The Germans once again. Must be something in the Rhine…
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works , example of derogatory comments towards another country
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Monarchs are still popular enough to keep their symbolic role, otherwise they would have been disposed.
The topic regularly comes up in the UK, Belgium, Spain, Denmark etc. The usual consensus in those countries is that the monarchy brings some stability between the governments. Also, when you look at the French and the lifetime salaries and benefits they pay their former presidents, republics are not automatically that much cheaper.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any way for me to hide my admin status, at least in the current Lemmy version.
You could use an alt to comment, and another account to admin/mod. Your current account shows with the M mod, and I’m not on your instance.

Modern racism is very much rooted in European pseudo-scientific bullshit.
Feel free to provide sources.
And those kings and queens very much hold power, unofficially, off the books.
When that happens, the king abdicates. Happened in Spain not too long ago en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Abdication_of_Juan_Carlos_I
It’s called corruption when it happens elsewhere but as we know Europeans are too pure and righteous to engage in corruption (at home), they only do it abroad when lobbying for contracts illegally.
Oh, don’t worry, we have plenty of corruption at home too: …wikipedia.org/…/Qatar_corruption_scandal_at_the_…
The one thing the European Union still hasn’t do is elect a leader similar to Trump. As stated above, the European Parliament isn’t dominated by the far-right, and all but 2 countries are currently governed by full far-right coalitions.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Unelected heads of state is clear.
So the kings and queens who hold no political power?
History shows us that racism is to Europe as fish to the sea.
Racism was everywhere during human history.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
And all the bigoted right wing European governments are what?
Which ones? At the moment I only see Italy and Hungary.
France’s far-right can’t come to power as the other two third of the Parliament is Left and Center blocks.
UK is labour: en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Premiership_of_Keir_Starmer
The Dutch are in a coalition with the Centrists and the Farmers: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoof_cabinet
Germany has to vote again in February: feddit.org/post/6479021?scrollToComments=true
Even Austria has a Centrist government: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehammer_government
The European Parliament 2 first groups are Center-Right and Left: en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Tenth_European_Parliament
All the unelected head of states in Europe are democratic?
Which ones? The kings and queens who have no political powers, or the prime ministers who come from the party with the most votes?
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
Germany literally just stripped firearm rights from their version of these groups earlier this week
Any source on that? Couldn’t find anything in a quick search.
About your question, I asked the Germans how the situation was there with the upcoming February election: feddit.org/post/6479021
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 weeks ago:
anywhere there’s a European political community, you will see plenty of shit talk and hate and blame being thrown around, especially towards the bigger euro countries like Germany, France and the UK (though not limited to).
Also, those communities discuss in their own language, that OP probably doesn’t read
