I tried like 4 different lemmy instances before settling on lemm.ee because it hasn't defederated from the socialists or "tankies". So I can participate.
This defederation fracturing lemmy really speaks to both self-censorship of allowable ideologies and also bad quality of admins and mods several servers.
If lemmy can't somehow federate communities separately from instances I don't see lemmy thriving.
Lemmy is thriving enough. Self-sufficient instances like Hexbear are fine without large amounts of federation. I do see Lemmy.world running into issues in the future due to their strong Zionist slant and anti-Leftist stance, but the other major instances seem to be fine.
I think lemmy.world is already pretty bad. To get away from their posts and comments I've considered joining hexbear, since you people honestly have the best content and most wholesome community and aren't federated with .world, but I also don't want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse. However, I just noticed there are only 5 instances in hexbear's blocked instance list and plenty in the linked list. Maybe I didn't notice how all other instances started federating with hexbear again?
I don't know what the "allowed" instance list means though.
Have you visited Hexbear? It's a very wholesome instance overall and posters are very supportive, assuming you're a Leftist. What leads you to believe otherwise?
Lol when I got banned from a major comm for defending a trotskyist comrade, after two years of participation on the instance, I learned all about the wholesomeness of your "non-sectarian" instance.
I think a prime example of hexbear wholesomeness is their trans megathreads: https://hexbear.net/post/3363552
They even have a community to help each other out: [email protected]
I'm genuinely ~~un~~surprised my previous comment got removed but anyway at least thanks for answering and providing an example.
Anticommunism is generally removed on Lemmy.ml, probably the reason.
yes it is known that not being wholsome = not being communist.
This but unironically.
