I have always got good vibes from zip users and communities in the past. I see that one instance they de-federate from unfortunately is that hilariouschaos instance. One of the reasons I signed up here was to see the alt community there. That instance definitely gives me certain vibes though and it's a pity that there's a few communities on there of interest to me. But yeah, I'd like to find an instance that gets rid of illegal content and doesn't allow straight bigotry under the guise of 'free speech' but I'd also like to be able to decide for myself sometimes. And block users or communities myself if they disagree with my politics or lifestyle.
Thanks very much for the help here. The links you shared are definitely going to be useful in helping me find what I'm looking for. This instance that I'm on right now is almost perfect for me so far, apart from the image hosting limitations.
Mander.xyz is a good instance that federate all other instances while having good moderation, its dedicated to nature and science
You're welcome to make an account on crazypeople.online. The sidebar should tell you all you need to know. If it turns out it's not your thing you can always try another instance.
Just took a look and it definitely seems like the kind of instance that I'm looking for. The only thing is, I've just recently come from another instance with downvotes disabled (Blahaj) and was wanting to get a look at Lemmy with all votes enabled. Honestly I wish that individual communities or instances could choose to have downvotes disabled without it effecting every other instance too. Sucks that it's an all or nothing kind of deal.
No worries mate. I hope you find the right space for you.
Glad to hear! Hopefully in a few weeks you'll be all set!
By the way, just realised that I'm an absolute idiot that was looking at the wrong list and that lemmy.zip is in fact federated with hilariouschaos. I'm honestly getting tired of being blind or doing dumb things, I promise I'm not normally a stupid person but it's like my brain isn't working properly these days.
It's okay!
