Choosing which instance of a community to join (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Maybe something that is not understood by new lemmings, at least me, is that when we join communities in other instances we may find ourselves blocked from accessing them (without creating another account) in the future.

A reasonable PSA seems to be to keep in mind the 'philosophy' of other instances before joining general interest communities such as News, Technology, Gaming, etc...

As posted by @[email protected] at https://lemmy.ml/post/1243402 , there are some instances that seem to have an easy trigger when blocking others:

Beehaw 387 TagPro.lol 384 lemmy.techstache 384 lib.lgbt 382 tchncs 69 Pawb.Social 67 Divisions by zero 54 Feddit 47 Feddit.dk 47 Feddit.nu 47 Lemmygrad 42 Leddit Social 42 clatter 41 lemmy.game-files.net 41 oceanbreeze.earth 39 Clueware's lemmy 39 MRM 38 SS14 Lemmy 25

note most of the instances blocked by lemmy.dbzer0.com are mastodon servers. Simply copied part of the block list from hachyderm.io as I'm closely coordinating with them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

huh, I didn't know lemmy also federated with mastodon. i guess posts from there show up like a regular post from a lemmy instance would? As opposed to kbin which I think has a separate tab in the ui for microblogging

anywho, i'm curious to know what the majority of defeds were for? like was it extremist stuff, heavily unmoderated instance, or something else

edit: appears from perusing the link above its mostly looks like reasonable defeds, though some of them are so small that it's questionable if they would ever interact with the instance

I was wondering about that! It seemed weird for an anarchist pirate instance to have a long block list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not weird at all. Anarchism doesn't mean "no rules"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, that's not what I meant. Anarchism is, as far as I know, largely a "live and let live" kinda thing. I wouldn't expect an anarchist to go and block a bunch of instances for no real reason, you know?

anarchists are explicitly anti-opporession. We will absolutely block instances which create an oppressive environment by promoting things like nazis, terfs and red fash
