A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.basedcount.com/post/114721
My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right Lemmygrad Exploding Heads Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
The political compass isn't real
It just amazes me that our little instance went from something for me to play with, to an instance at the centre of ongoing fedi drama, and the source of several memes.
Our instance fucking rules and offers the most interesting and diverse communities on Lemmy. Thank you for your efforts.
Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works I'd say are a little left? And exploding-heads, less authoritarian right, more boomer gab people instance with misused meme formats galore, totally unfun. Big R Republicans packed to the brim. Boring as fuck.
There's not really a top right corner instance anymore, there used to be one, hosted at nobodyhasthe.biz. Those guys were what you'd expect, N word everywhere everything is about Jews chud memes black sun all of that shit.
abuse defed
Lol. How can you "abuse" defederation? Are instances not allowed to decide who they talk to?
The right likes to think that they have a right to push their ideas on you
The thing is that from what I can see they are not. If your instance doesn't defederate from let's say exploding heads or hexbear then people start with shaming you for that first and then defederating from your instance. So in this way no, they seem not allowed to decide who they talk to.
Well if you regularly hang out with Nazis, I wouldn't want to hang out with you. That's life
I can't believe I keep seeing this slander of Blahaj. We federated with those tankie communities as an olive branch. And they defederated with us after it became clear we didn't like them. We aren't a bunch of safe space tenderqueers, we tried to make a difficult relationship work.
And Beehaw defederated because they needed more moderators / more moderation tools.
You've also put censorship in the bottom left of the political compass...
I didn't know that I needed a Pricefield instance until now. But it's down.
It's up now. Not terribly active, unfortunately, but I love that someone had the dedication of creating one. And, as I said the meme, their theme is lovely.
I've never seen Exploding Heads but I've heard things... It's the only one shown on this chart I think I have any issue with, if what I've heard is true.
The entire bottom half though is like my whole shit.
I'm subscribed to [email protected] and haven't seen any problems there, it's kind of a normal Tech and privacy community, that's why I didn't de-federate from them. I probably blocked some users from there.
Kbin is probably in the center. I just want to grill in my Linux computer.
Thats why I host my own Instance
It's funny because everything I heard about beehaw would make me put them in the authoritarian right category with we want your e-mail for registration, we defederate everything that we don't like
I am gonna give a hot-take, but we need more conservative on the fediverse, of course I don't talk about the nazi uncle who still say that During the war, German soldiers were well behave unlike the Americans but classic liberal who support people like Macron/Merkel/Von der leyen and other reasonable right-winger are people we can talk-with
I feel like they are near the Orange LibLeft quadrant: a liberal that actually ends up behaving in a somewhat authoritarian manner in enforcing their beliefs onto others for the sake of safety, diversity and so on.
Both beehaw and their admins are great and at the end of the day the beauty of the fediverse is that everyone can run their instance as they please. I just wish there was another way to fix this sort of probems without having to block 5k+ people from accessing your website.

100% agree. And no, this doesn't mean Trump supporters. In fact it doesn't even mean anything close to the American right. Other countries have reasonable and functioning centre-right parties and I'd love to have something like that on Lemmy.
I guess I'm going to self host. Better that than having to create yet another account on yet another instance just because it got defederated
I agree and I do that with all the fediverse services, if I care enough to use it then I also care enough to host a single-user instance for myself.
Try unilem. They have an explicit policy of not defederating from any instance.
Pricefield really does have a fun theme. Basically unreadable, but fun.
What's the latest drama of Hexbear ? I've been on that site since before they were part of the fediverse, but had started to lose interest in it. Then I've joined Lemmy without knowing Hexbear was in the process of federating. Now I'm hesitating on which account to keep (I'm more on the communist side myself, albeit not to keen on the pro-Russian stance I sometimes saw over there).
I haven't followed it thoroughly as I'm not particularly interested with the hexbear content, I think they opened federation (but only on allowlist) but as soon as they did so many of the big instances said "fuck no" and immediately defederated them. This includes lemmy.world, feddit.de, beehaw.org, lemmy.ca ... list goes on.
Only needs will be able to see all instances and have a wide look at things. Omin users should need to “pick a side” and that sucks .
