What Fediverse services do you use?

Yes, not supporting NATO will get you viciously attacked.
Russian propaganda, Vlad, go suck Pootins dick,, etc.... All that is allowed but you can't return the favor so you get banned.
Same for Mastodon, and I don't want to come back to either of those.
I can find the same garbage and narrative like that on Reddit, not what I'm looking for.

**hexbear ** it was a post about "the boomers" and how they are everything what's wrong with the world and evil Trumpers. I expected better from someone on Hexbear.
I tried to explain they are not a monolith, their generation have achieved a lot in the 60's and did their share, sometimes at great cost.
Also it's a divide and conquer tactic.
If blaming a certain age group is not ageism (a standard no no in most instances rules) someone should explain it to me. Anyway, OP tried to get out of it by saying "boomer is more of a mindset" which is nonsense.
But mostly he got very defensive with the same result as in the non-left instances.

Lemmygrad I had a disagreement about how I personally don't see religion and communism as compatible. Not appreciated by my Muslim adversary.
And there we I went again.

These 2 subs I really like and visit and would go back to if it could be fixed. I don't even know how, like I didn't know about the 2 week lemm.ee ban. Suddenly you are logged out, can't log in and that was it. Didn't see an option to protest a ban anywhere.

What Mastodon instance did you get banned from, just out of curiosity? Couldn't tell you, it was the very first Fediverse thing I tried and knew even less than now where I was.

Yes I need to tone it down IF I per sé want to stay.
I admit I get full on aggressive when attacked and I dislike having to do this (or the results) but having to self censor out of fear doesn't sit right. There is enough censorship as it is. Opinions on politics can easily clash and I admit I can be very hard, confrontational and not diplomatic. It is fair for others to also not hold back, I don't mind. Grown ups should be able to hold heated civil discussions. But they should do it without vulgar insults or baseless slander.
I think that is a reasonable request.
Thanks.

Thank you. I don't really like advertising it, but I also realize the more I advertise it, the more people will join.

you can follow pixelfed accounts from other fediverse issues with mostly not problems, you can comment and see comments from any service in the fediverse. That is: fediverse integration works as intended.

But Pixelfed is a social picture sharing application. You can follow a mastodon account, but pixelfed will only show you the media posts from the user, not the text ones (unless they're comments on a picture) for instance. As some other features mastodon posts have that pixelfed ones don't will not also work.

Conversely, you can follow a pixelfed account from mastodon, but most mastodon implementations don't support picture albums of over 4 pictures, you will not see over 4 pictures on the post.

That is working as intended though, they're different apps with different features, just talking the same language.

Wafrn: As of now it's the Tumblr-style microblog platform that it's closer in terms of content and energy to the original. Goblin has the pro that being a misskey fork has more app options, while wafrn only has only that for now it's in close beta (although I access it through the phone browser no issues), but Goblin seems more serious in its content and interactions (or at least that was my perception)

I think misskey and it's forkeys are it own thing in both terms of features and user base. Akkoma (can't speak about plain pleroma) and Mastodon are similar, but Mastodon has , how to say it, this issue where they spend years shitting on features half the Fediverse have to then add it and pretend they're doing something revolutionary. Also, I don't know why but all the Mastodon servers I've been have had limitations or outright forbid image uploading, telling you to instead open a pixelfed account; I've never seen someone like that even in the crappies key/oma instance. That not even mentioning the toxicity (much of it inherited from twitter during the migrations) that exist in Mastodon.

Piefed like that you can join or abandon communities by topic on piefed and that it ask you if you want to see content with certain topics. Lemmy has the advantage that it has more app options, but it's harder to filter content there and, at least on the server I was, half of the time the search gave no results. Tbh, I think we need a Lemmy fork because that's the only way the community it's ever getting all the user friendly changes it needs. The things that Lemmy lacks it lacks on purpose, there's an active decision to not have them. Different from kbin, I actually like Lemmy, but I agree that PieFed has a lot of potential and as of now haven't had any issues with it.

I never used Twitter really because Facebook filled that need and more. I might eventually go to Friendica, or at least have considered it. Basically, at the time, I was looking for two kinds of communication/conversation. One topic based and one user based. The user based side has two parts, friends and content producers. Since i don't have many friends on the fediverse, that side isn't as easy to fulfill. Lemmy covers the topic based, and Mastodon covers the user based for content producers well. If I get more friends converted, I'd probably be more interested in Friendica.

I already liked kbin. The general look/feel and structure was more appealing then lemmy or mastodon.

Not sure if I stay but I made accounts all over and will continue I think, until a "winner" builds up.

The whole fediverse is pretty cluttered to be honest.
