Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

What's another good instance that isn't Lemmy and backed by tankies?

i run a public onramp (not a lot of local content, wide open federation) instance https://moist.catsweat.com/

We're on pawb.social and it's chill. Buncha furries though. Which is a plus for us!

(It also runs on Basically Lemmy, though they forked it because of the devs being crappy.)

Wait, doesn't SJW run Lemmy? I'll second the SJW rec nevertheless, though. I pretty constantly watch instance drama from afar on sh.itjust.works and feel very grateful that the instance I chose as a newbie has been blessedly free of that. Every instance that's got more than like ten people has at least one dumbass, but it doesn't feel like there's some overwhelming current of any flavor of dumbass on SJW, and I don't even remember who the instance admins is, let alone feel like anything is beholden to their politics. Shit just works. It's a beautiful thing.

My issue with some, but not all, of them is I tend to run into tankies posing as libertarians. Which is just as bad if not a little worse because many are just confused individuals.

But of a generalization, but it unsettlingly common.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Tankies and libertarians are both conservatives. Different circus - same clowns. They have a chosen ingroup that's righteous and correct and handsome, and any argument-shaped sentences are just shuffling cards to justify that mandatory conclusion. Things are good because they do them.

To be honest I have not noticed many of either on SJW. Tankies aplenty on ML, an undercurrent on dbzer0, the rare dingus on anarchist.nexus. Libertarians? There's two guys who don't post anymore. I think they first came here for the same reason I did - overbearing admins on other instances.

Unless you're thinking of Universal Monk, but that motherfucker is an infectious disease.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago

Oh actually maybe I was thinking of dbzer0 instance. I just remembered it was a popular one with an odd name. Maybe I got them mixed up. I try not to follow the fediverse drama shit.

Ironically that sentiment is precisely what has driven these developments. The fact that it's now even causing the user who runs MWOG this kind of grief is just laying it on thick.

Not wanting to bootlick for North fucking Korea, like you and the Lemmy devs do, is what drove the vote limit?

I won't miss the fascists on here, that's for sure.

Look, this level of hate's one-sided here so I won't engage this any further in your farewell thread.

I hope there's a silver lining to this and you'll find it restorative. The reply guy life beckons you.

Look, this level of hate’s one-sided here

lmao

Considering your constant participation in the usual circlejerks, like Hexbear's slop threads, about me, specifically, and your constant whingeing about MWOG being run by Nazis?

The usual blatant bullshit from you.

How do you feel about furries? :3

I'm only subscribed to like 1-2 Beehaw communities, and every time I see a response on a post there, there's that little autopost telling me that Beehaw has superior levels of discussion and I better watch what I say. So I cringe a bit and just skip it.

Come to think of it, I should just unsubscribe to those Beehaw communities. There, done.
