The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

rather than leaving the platform, find or host yourself an instance that blocks the tankie instances... I'm loving sh.itjust.works so far, which blocks lemmygrad.ml - that's the beauty of federation

tfw kbin doesn't block any instances and just watching the drama of different instances block each other ๐Ÿฟ

Hello fellow kbinner... kbinnite... kbinmate... what's the word we're calling each other again? Anyway, I feel the same way.
One of the main reasons why I didn't choose lemmy was explicitly because the kind of red authoritarian crowd they seemed to attract. Sure, there's gonna be people like that on kbin as well, but so far it's been pretty decent from my point of view.
Ngl, the drama is pretty nice when you're not involved in it ๐Ÿฟ

kbinger? kbinotreddit?

I actually started on the lemmy side of things but the politics and drama on beehaw and lemmy.ml just drove me away. It was also crazy to me the devs of lemmy.ml were openly denying genocide and other atrocities (and it some instances almost cheering for that stuff) but beehaw refused to defederate with them. And then what would you know, beehaw defederates from.. wait what? lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?? confused_will_smith.jpg

anyways, the drama and politics are stupid and will drive away new users from joining. the main dev at kbin has been very proactive at answering bug and feature request tickets. Me and some others set up some new kbin instances to help share the load and a few of us devs are hoping to help out ernest with the dev work he has for kbin
