Politically "neutral" instances? (lemmy.world)
 

As I’ve used Lemmy, I’ve discovered just how politically charged it can be. This is likely just due to the nature of the software and the types of people that tend to care about it, but I’d like to avoid associating with radicals, both left and right. As such, I want to make a new account on a new general-purpose instance. I can speak German, so I was thinking feddit.org or lemmy.at, but I know nothing about them. What do you suggest?

I actually read something about this today! Funny.

I know the obvious things like federation and fediverse, but do we say upvote/downvote, updoot, karma? I hate to bring up the software that must not be named, but I don’t know what else to call things.

Neither; use FOSS!

But in all seriousness, ads. They may be filled with trackers from big tech to try to know my every waking thought and sell them, but I have handy dandy software to deal with that.

It’s nice for viewing, but it can convolute posting. Which one do I post do? Do I cross post? Not a huge issue but still a bit annoying

Dont connect to wifi or ethernet. You won't be able to make an online account without a connection
