instance wars

Thank you. Spot on.

I’m also seeing bizarre infiltrations of instances by likely paid teams of saboteurs who know exactly how to deFed the federated.

There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:

Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."

After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"

dbzero on top. even after beefing with and being banned from another instance the admins let us stay federated.

Solidarity amongst all instances.

Our fediverse comrades.

The reason corporate social media sucks is its monopolistic nature. “Instance wars” are why lemmy is better than reddit, which consists of exactly one instance.

I am just a chill lemm.ee guy

I’ll be pretty annoyed if world and ml break up. I just want to scroll and they’re most of the content.

Hey drama is part of social media, it drives engagement plus we are hashing out this place should work. Also power tripping mods sub is great, solid discussions

There's 2 things I can't abide: intolerant communities and the Dutch.

It kinda pisses me off tbh. It's like that friend that has to keep telling you how boring the movie is when you're just trying to sit and watch it. Like, stfu and go away then, stop trying to be a crab on the bucket for the rest of us.

Is there a federation map somewhere so you can see what instances are federated with each other and which are not?

I am so out of the loop on this. People care about what instance they are on?

all i know is sh.itjust.works

Ideally the network corrects by users moving away from the drama instances so they don’t get randomly cut off.

Anyone unironically surprised by this? Lmao

Who could have guessed that trying to bring together people with opposing views would generate so much attrition...

From what I’ve seen, a lot of the toxicity is trickling down from the powermods. Same issue migrated from Reddit.

If instance A and B block each other, can a user on instance C still see all the posts from B and A?

What worries me is the drop in posts if things fracture.

Lemmy.today is one of the most drama-free instances.

Just go and explore whatever of Lemmy you want.

.zip lemmings chillin'

Out of the loop, what’s going on?

@aradgus Beige laughs :plushtodon_deal:

I guess u need him

Blahaj can start fostering an inclusive community and stop legitimizing trolls whenever they want drama to stop

Edit: Anyone who's seen what happens when mods legitimize trolls knows it kills communities. I wish i could have stayed on blahaj but it's just as toxic as reddit lgbtq spaces now...
