ngl I may prefer lemm.ee, just saying
hexbear and lemmygrad are fantastic. makes me feel very welcome and safe as a queer person (i am bisexual) that the admins will always crack down on queerphobia in any form. very cool for our trans comrades as well! lemmy.ml is a close third place, many cool ppl on there especially comrade dessalines.
"I prefer the one I'm posting from." - every single response
db0 , i really like your server tbh but my monyet.cc is serving me currently well the fact that you have a photon , tensorrect etc as alternate frontends is kinda cool as well :p thanks man , we as a community appreciate your instance and its c/piracy -fellow pirate
Hehe yep
Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands
lemmy.sdf.org when it works; federation there is kinda fucked right now, so
I'm on lemmy.today for now.I accidentally posted it from SDF. Comment if you can see this.SDF has an extensive track record (* much longer than I have been alive*) of providing systems for the public good. If federation gets fixed (and it probably will eventually), I'll be back on SDF.
Additionally, I generally don't want the set of people I can connect with to be technically limited, like at all. Yes that includes "all the bad people" according to your (and my) individual worldview. If they're going to exist, I would prefer to have advanced notice of the danger they pose. If you suck, I will block you.
I'm not against moderated or curated instances, and for most people that is probably the way to go, but it's not what I personally need. Yes, this means that I occasionally get wild shit when I choose to scroll through All. Yes, that means I get various shades of genocide apologists and weird bigots, again when I choose not to browse by Local or Subscribed. That's why I'm subscribed to a bunch of cool, moderated communities. I choose the content I see.
That is the approach I prefer for myself. Again, I understand that it's not for everyone.
As far as instances where I'm not (yet) a member, lemmy.dbzer0.com is my favorite by far. Also while I don't have any communities on their instance, the startrek.website people seem to always have something interesting to say.
Personally I am pretty bias towards lemm.ee, mostly because it's the instance I joined when starting out. I mostly do all because i personally don't prefer using local communities. Don't really care about federation, just like using lemmy either way
Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.
I don't care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it's Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
Dbzer0 yeah. It have served well without any downtime for me. Also piracy friendly. Startrek.website people seems chill
My main is reddthat.com
Clear and open admins; smaller instance with room to grow; it's my personal favorite
startrek.website definitely punches above its weight, was my first account
But this alt on reddthat.com I use more because it has down voting disabled and it keeps me more zen
pretty cool that there's whole instances about stuff like Star Trek, really cool!
They just deleted my whole account and didnt tell me about it at all. Just oracle things I guess.
