I use lemm.ee because the big lib instances have not defederated it (.world, beehaw) and they still federate with hexbear (I also like slrpnk.net and they defederated from hexbear as well).
Ditto Odo. I like having the agency to choose to block / ingnore users or instances I dislike. I understand some people may not be in a headspace where they are able to ignore vitriolic / harmful posts or opinions and some people simply don't want to have to block every other post and just enjoy their space.
.ee seemed to tick all the boxes at the time while being large / established enough to not fly by night.
There are other instances out there, who just simply don't take political stances. I specifically chose one ran by oldschool internet heads. AFAIK we've not defederated with anyone, and the userbase would revolt if admins did without very, very good reason.
I think that's just because it's become kind of the general instance now that Lemmy dot world keeps having its hamster wheel powered servers self combust. I'm sure there are plenty of cool people on there as well because of that, just drowned out by endless liberalism.
I think it's because the people motivated enough to respond here are always doing so because they were triggered. The normal people aren't triggered. They might read a bit of the struggle session and say nothing. That's all.
Eventually over time those people became members of CTH back in the day. So give it time. I have noticed that we've gone up by about 100 active users per day in the last week. Many of these are probably chapos dragged out of their hole by the entertainment of the battles happening on /all/ but I also suspect we are attracting a few people.
I am hopeful that lemmyworld's problems continue indefinitely until lemm.ee takes the leadership role as it seems run by people of sounder mind. Their moderation of hate is stronger, transphobia is better, and they're not banning the socialists. It's the one we ought to promote.
I can confirm this, I was watching the debates without engaging in them until my instance defederated this place, and I was left curious enough to make an account here
Last time I saw one here, a bunch of great comrades from the news megathread dogpiled them with walls of text, literally so much text I had to scroll for a considerable amount of time. I don't think that's ever getting old.
I miss her, that was my favorite bit account. Although I guess the impact wouldn't be as much of a whiplash now, since we have lost libs wandering into posts anyway.
That would be a good bit. Downbears only for non local posters so every Hexbear post is massively upbeared and every bad take is massively downbeared. Non local posters with good takes can have a little upbear too, as a treat
OP is suggesting that a large portion of the lemmee userbase are racist neoliberals who share their racist neoliberal opinions proactively.
Personally I wouldn't phrase it the way they did (it's too totalizing) but I've definitely mainly seen terrible racist and/or neoliberal opininos from that site. There are also cool people there, though.
I have never seen so many racist comments against Eastern Europeans as from supposedly leftist communities like Hexbear or Lemmygrad (unless they preach imperialist rachism).
They don't have any. Their post history is just a bad meme about tankies loving Putin and a video about how the spooky scary Gravel Institute (remember that?) "lies about Ukraine".
I think they just think that saying stuff like "there's a lot of Ukrainian nazis" is "racist against Eastern Europeans" and until they say otherwise I'm going to go on believing that.
