  Thanks for your good work, sent mine :)

  AFAIK no. Lemmy.zip is not problematic and SDF largely stays in the background.

  I tried to verify this but the only tool for this stuff, defed.xyz, seems to have shut down 4 months ago, shame.

  Lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip have very lax defederation policies, those might interest you

  iirc Lemmy.dbzer0.com isn’t either.

  Our dear wrench monkey , tenchiken, is working on moving anarchist.nexus off cloudflare too, nice

  Just check each one’s sidebar and see what you like best :).

  Iirc there is a website for this yes, but i can’t get it right now, sorry. But off the top of my head, top to bottom: dbzer0,blahaj, solarpunk

  Censuring completely defederates an instance (at least with threativore) and most instances aren’t defederated with ml anyway, so this makes sense:)

  It has recieved two hesitations tho, which are like censures but without defederation

  Well for anarchist/queer/pro-environment, Lemmy.dbzer0.com slrpnk.net and (kinda) Lemmy.blahaj.zone, not officially but tons of anarchists there.

  Another important thing to consider is federation policy. For example Dbzer0 is the most lax and blahaj is the most moderated, not necessarily good or bad it just depends on what you personally want.

  As we can plainly observe, liberalism/libertarianism & authoritarianism are on opposite sides of the ideological map.

  The political compass is incredibly basic and does a horrible job at describing ideologies. Ideology is not just a basic “left wing/right wing, libertarian/authoritarian” %’s, it’s more accurately representable with parameters. It’s as useful as a toy.

  If anything, all you’re observing is a government depart from a philosophy to become a different type of government

  Besides liberalism’s glaring issues, the whole point is that this is the inevitable endpoint of capitalism and by extension, liberalism. If an ideology always ends up in a horrible result as we see in the US and other liberal nations, it’s fair to include that in the criticism of Liberalism.

  your claim is off: the US has been protecting inherent human rights & liberties for the most part in recent history until Trump.

  Jesus fucking christ what? The Indian genocides/reservations? Chattel slavery, and modern slavery through penal labor? The war on terror? The countless coups done by the US that installed fascist dictators? Japanese internment camps? The monroe doctrine? Operation paperclip? Palestine? Literally all of this happened before Trump came into power. What the fuck are you talking about. How is that defending “human rights & liberties” in any way?
