Does it actually matter?
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad as well as tech.de (or something similar) I might host myself sometime later. I was on mastodont a while before , went back and tired of proprietary again. This time I am thoroughly fed up and will stay.
For me defederation is good. I see the problem with filterbubbles but I’m to old for this shit. I rather be in my bubble.
I tried to find a server that isn’t blocking anyone, and hasn’t been defederated by any of the big servers.
I want to avoid an echo-chamber and have access to everything on the fediverse, including stuff I find distateful. If anything really bothers me I will block the community/instance myself, I don’t want others making that choice for me.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of folks out there just searching for an excuse to clutch their pearls, rile up a mob, and defederate anything and everything that offends them.
I don’t want to circlejerk in a safe space echo chamber, I want to see both the yin and the yang of humanity. I want that wild west feeling of the internet of old
lemmy.ml because when I joined I had no idea of how the fediverse worked. I’d change it to a smaller one but it really doesn’t matter much I don’t think.
I’m on sh.itjust.works. Not gonna lie, related to that name naturally.
I chose lemmy.ca because I’m a proud Canadian patriot 💪🇨🇦🫡
Same here. Just seemed like the right choice.
I saw a youtube video that said lemmy.ml was full so you can’t join. I just picked a random one that wasn’t ml so I chose lemmy.world
Even lemmy.word, at least for me, was difficult to join. I have a hard time to log into the account I have created there. I think we must understand this is not redit, the platform is fundamentally different how you approach it. The fuller the server gets, the more difficult it gets to get into your account.
