The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?
Anyone know why the recent spike? That's not negligible.
Because reddit moderation has become utterly unbearable, insufferable bad.
I've been using BBSs, newsgroups, MIRC, ICQ, a million ass forums and social media for almost 40 years now.
I've never been banned from anywhere on the net (and before).
And yet in the last three months I've been temp banned 3 times on reddit. All for their AI moderation systems misunderstanding Australian colloquialisms as threatening violence.
It's utter bullshit.
People are leaving reddit as a result.
https://lemmy.world/post/43035743/22099833 Apparently old forum software was updated to use the federation and all the old users got tallied up and added. Also people flocking from Reddit and X too.
So, the instance you choose largely depends on two factors:
your political stance.
do you like porn?
.world has been treating me alright. After blocking hexbear and .world, I'm sitting pretty alright here in .world. I'd prefer piefed.world to lemmy.world, but the former didn't exist when I made my account. I used to think of myself as a progressive liberal, but in current year the anarchists are making some pretty good points. Also, most of the porn communities I like I can subscribe to on this instance.
Why did you block . world if they've been treating you all right?
I'm sincerely curious for a few reasons
first of all .world is the only instance that would let me in after I tried multiple times joining numerous other instances that would just buffer forever when I was trying to register and they never sent me confirmation emails, .world was the only one that would let me in.
But now when I make posts and comments in .world communities, moderators have been removing my posts & comments, they say because I belong to.world 🤯
Please make this make sense.
And look, here we are in a .world community. Let's see how long the moderators let this comment of mine remain 🙄
why did you block .world
What made you think I did that? I never claimed to have done so.
After blocking hexbear and .world,
i think I did a fuxky wucky
block hexbear and .ml
How are you seeing my comments, though? I'm on .ml
