My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or “how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme”.
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right Lemmygrad Exploding Heads Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
This compass is almost as stupid as the original political compass. Nice work with this unscientific filth.
Blahaj zone and beehaw don’t abuse defederation. Both instances use it for the exact purpose needed to achieve their goals. And I like that.
Literally the main reason I’m on blahaj zone is because I’m a trans lesbian and really don’t want to deal with the shit I’ve seen on the blocked instances.
The whole point of the fediverse is you join one that aligns with your values and queer phobic stuff is a hard line nope from me. It’s like the one place I feel reporting stuff actually does something.
Beehaw even said they’ll refederate with certain instances if/when moderation tools improve. The main problem is that there’s not a lot you can do to block off problematic users from instances on an individual basis.
I don’t disagree with that, I even said that much in the blahaj quadrant. I just wish there was an easier way to fix these problems instead of burning bridges, because they sure burn a lot of them.
Burnt bridges can’t be rebuilt. Refederation is always a possibility.
Beehaw has said they won’t defederate until Lemmy has better moderation tools. Which is something that is totally out of our control. I have no idea of better moderation tools or even on the road map and if they are I have no idea where on the road map they are.
No one does, there’s a whole discourse around the lack of a real roadmap for Lemmy and what the primary devs’ goals are. Hopefully it’ll happen someday, I guess.
Shit just works almost allowed 1 conservative community is your bar for far right? Lol I’d say they’re pretty centrist but I don’t know the details of the banned community.
isn’t the option to ignore an instance as a user coming to Lemmy real soon? I need that, hexbear can go fly a kite
Some apps have it, I use it on Connect.
hmm yes sadly Sync doesn’t have that option yet. Butthat combined with a browser extension to filter posts on the website could work fine thosync does have that option. its in the settings under filters, you can filter whole instances
/edit: settings->general->filters->instance filters
Sync’s filter doesn’t block comments unfortunately, so it’s of little help against users from Hexbear when they brigade.
oh nice, thank you!
If people took more than 30 seconds to read instead of being immediately reactionary, they’d have long since known beehaw’s defederations are due to a lack of lemmy’s own moderation tools currently.
But you can’t expect anyone to read anything. 😅

Gotta be an ass? Leave that shit in your last social media of choice.
If that comment was enough to get you this upset, I don’t think you’re gonna last on any “social media of choice.” Better get out while you still can. 👀
👍
I did read their entire statement, and while I can understand the reasoning behind it, I don’t agree with their whole defederation thing they have going on
Agreed about lemmy.world being cringe and lame. Gonna find a new instance as soon as I can find the time to do so.
As a former user of lemmy.world. I agree with this meme. That place is even worse than reddit.
Oh it’s awful. I hated it there and tried to not engage. It would have been helpful to know what each instance was like when I made an account on each of them.
Why the hell is beehaw so far left
Because it is one of the most left leaning instances? Where would you put it?
It seems more center-left to me
We ask people to be nice to each other. That’s pretty far left these days. 😂
My favorite part was that it points out what OP clearly thinks are flaws in Beehaw’s strategy but concedes that the strategy has worked.
You didn’t include that hardcore libitarian crypto instance who made it to all yesterday with one of their users spamming about how taxation is theft.
Monero.town? Yeah, that user was nutty.
I’m degenerate and I’m proud!
