(Note that the quoted bit I’m replying to ends after the word “…issue” and my words begin at “What a fucking…”)
In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”
Except .ml, apparently.
Any idea for the instance?
I’ve had my eye on dbzero and slrpnk.net as I’ve been pondering this move over the past few months.
Ironically the biggest thing holding me back was not wanting to give in to all the trolls from .world about being from .ml.
But now, eh maybe it’s just time.
Like blaze said, both of those are great instances. I will say that I think dbzero’s admin, db0 of course, is more active in the fediverse community, and I tend to find myself agreeing with most of their decisions and stances.
Also, recently db0 has been pushing forward with a lot of initiatives towards user/community feedback and governance, which is refreshing to see. To me, it means they are willing to allow others to hold them ethically accountable, and actively pushing for community mechanisms to allow for that.
Honestly, having voiced this… I need to stop procrastinating on a donation. I spend too much time using instance not to throw them a few dollars for upkeep. db0, keep doing what you’re doing, this random guy appreciates it.
Thanks for sharing all that. 🙂
I think it’s sad people don’t try to look past the instance handle, just another form of tribalism
Depends on the instance. Ml can be a historical account. LW a default account set on Sync… People usually don’t end up randomly on hexbear or lemmygrad
Yeah I think that’s a fair assessment.
I set up this account originally because I wanted to get a broad view of what was on the fediverse without having to make a bunch of accounts. A bunch of people warning me to block things is a surefire way to get me to immediately go check out what’s going on.
For that use case Lemm.ee might even be better, less defederated
Enjoy, they are both great !
