How tf do y'all keep such close tabs on who the people are in charge of instances and the fact that they use alts from other instances to troll people and all this other petty gossip bullshit? How do you seriously keep up to speed with that nonsense?
I just scroll and comment, bro. π€·ββοΈ
Because some of us have run a foul of their Doctrine not knowing whom they were, and been exposed to an avalanche of trolling, and trolling from other subs or instances I guess.
What communities are these? Sounds like these are some toxic and/political communities. I try to stay away from political discourse online.
(Btw, that's not how you use "whom" π«ͺπ«£β€οΈ, sorry for pointing it out)
Hexbear and ml, hexbear is by far the worst. New people come on and wander onto these communities and say something that upsets them and get trolled to the point where they quit let me altogether it's actually a big problem.
I'm against censorship but many of these instances are not entirely wrong to De Federate from them, you have no idea how bad they are in this regard they are super aggressive. And their reach extends beyond those instances. If you piss them off there, they will get you banned here and there and elsewhere, and troll you.
To their credit, they were some of the original Developers as they were the first to be purged from reddit, and this is basically a Reddit refugee site.
Those sound like instances, not communities. I'm assuming you meet all these toxic people in political communities?
ml was actually my first server on the mobile app. I had no idea it was a black sheep until other communities on other servers stopped giving me access. I can't even remember now. I've been on world and (just viewing offline) for a while now.
This is why its a good idea for the bigger instances to defederate from hexbar
