I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn’t look much different to me. Can anyone explain?
Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I’m drawing is that for my purposes it doesn’t really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded
For the record, I just added hexbear to the sjw blocklist.
They use an allowlist and they previously removed us from it, so we were effectively defederated already for most of the past year. But it seems that they may have refederated with us silently within the past couple weeks. I’m not exactly sure.
Anyway, I’ve heard this rumor about us still being federated with hexbear a few times, so I decided to clarify the situation.
@Addition@sh.itjust.works
great! and thanks for telling me
Good to know, that whole thing was always a bit confusing
Basically we were in the process of having a discussion about defederating them, and then they blocked us before we could have a vote in c/Agora.
So it seemed like the problem was solved. But the fact that they don’t appear on our blocklist has been misleading to others, so I think it’s better to make it official.
Especially because they likely did it knowing they could sneakily refederate later without people knowing, which is probably what they did recently.
