For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

[email protected] and [email protected]. Or of course communities that rule.

[email protected]. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)

[email protected] and maybe [email protected], lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. [email protected] says [email protected]. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)

Seems like [email protected] and [email protected], various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as [email protected]

You need to take a step back. You can't see the forest for the trees. Our strength is in our diversity.

Hexbear defederated from us as we were discussing whether to vote on defederating them, which was a foregone conclusion. Our users can't walk into their communities, because they are scared that we might poke a hole in their bubble. Perhaps these boogeymen that you envision are less interested in taking over the world, and more interested in simply having their own space on the internet.

In short, if a user on that instance were to accidentally walk into chapotraphouse (hexbear.net is also not defederated on that instance) and say something that would anger the trolls and get you brigaded (from their discord server), then that’s not the problem of the instance admin of sh.itjust.works to protect their users from such a mistake.

It's not nice to put words in someone else's mouth. I will always protect my users against being brigaded. Hence why we were about to defederate hexbear before they beat us to the punch. But we aren't being brigaded by lemmy.ml.

You actually believe Dessalines is taking money from the Chinese government? Come on dude, that's absurd. Occam's razor: he just doesn't like when people say shit he doesn't agree with, and petulantly bans them. It's not a conspiracy, it's just an internet moderation saga that has played out a million times before.
