Why YSK: Choosing an instance with defederation policies you’re most comfortable with is important to make your Fediverse experience smooth in the long run.
Here is a chart showing the defederation count of each instance.
| Instance | Defederated with how many other instances |
|---|---|
| beehaw.org | 405 |
| feddit.de | 101 |
| lemmy.world | 63 |
| lemmy.ml | 44 |
| sh.itjust.works | 4 |
| exploding-heads.com | 3 |
You can get it by going to the instance’s instance list and scrolling/Ctrl+Fing down to “Blocked Instances”. To find the instance list, go to https://your-instance.url/instances, for example, https://lemmy.world/instances
lemmygrad and exploding-heads I can understand but why lemmy.ml? It’s a general purpose instance with no known bot/Nazi/Tanky/other fascist/etc. infestion.
I thought lemmy.ml was run by the same people as lemmygrad. (And the Lemmy code creators)
At the beginning (of the reddit exodus) the admins were definitely banning people from lemmy.ml for being “critical of the Chinese government” calling it racism. (“Orientalism” was their term.)
I switched to lemmy.world that same day, and haven’t really kept up with that instance since then.
I think it’s funny when assholes (and it’s always the assholes of any group) scream that anything slightly challenging a point of view is racist/phobic…no it’s not you fuck heads there can be legitimate different points of view without it being from hate. For example I’m an American, some shit we do well, lots more shit we do poorly, but calling anyone who calls the US on their bullshit “racist/phobic/current term de jour” makes me assume the person accusing is a moron and their opinion shouldn’t matter…it only gets weird when you have two genuine morons trying to claim the high ground like say a white supremacists being upset a black supremacist is calling them out, they both suck.
I’m sorry…I’m in Florida and there’s so much goddamn stupidity here it’s insane. Take drag shows…have you ever been to one? I’m straight straight…but drag shows are a blast, everyone leans in enjoys themselves and move on. The shows are aimed at adults and spend no time indoctrinating kids unlike the Catholic church…hell I can’t think of one news story about a kid getting molested at a drag show/brunch/library hour, can’t say the same for church, but nobody is trying to protect the kids from getting diddled by “god’s” messengers.
I’ve lost my point, but fuck Florida.
I’d have to see some specific examples to pass judgement.
Here ya go: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
Edit: be sure to scroll down for the admin comments on the matter.
And note that I do not know if they have since changed course on this for lemmy.ml
Holy crap. This should be it’s own post. Just purged all the “serious” communities I was following on there.
I know what you mean but I had to laugh because I linked a post. That is to say, it was its own post haha.
I’m not going to lie, I’m constantly waffling between Lemmy and kbin in no small part because Lemmy (the software) is maintained by that same admin.
I’m using Lemmy because it looked easier to set up but damn, once there’s kbin apps I might have to look into switching my server over to kbin.
As far as I know, kbin doesn’t require JavaScript either. Which might be another plus considering the Lemmy vulnerability that was just exploited using JavaScript.
While I also don’t like JS, I just want to point out that not having JS on the website does nothing to prevent an XSS attack that injects JS into a site. This is more of a back-end kind of problem.
