Then your doing something wrong. Take a page from the Welsh. Go get a stick, a horses skull, some cloth, and some ribbons etc. And hold a Mari Lwyd.

Well no, that’s every day. Gothmas is a month after foodmas.

We celebrate gothmas every year.

Ace is a decent watch. Shit post quality video energy, that’s information dense. Always gonna second an Acerola suggestion.

Adults literally brawling in the aisles over them.

Or the tickle me Elmo terror of the mid 90s

Moonbeam city did something similar with “okay”

It’s the great feature of the service.You can find an instance to suit your tastes.There are plenty more general instances out there. instances that are focused on certain regions or languages. There’s even a few out there dedicated to specific political ideologies. Such as the one you’re on, there’s even an instance that’s generally anarchist. Though that doesn’t mean you need to be on one that matches your ideology. I’m an anarchist and don’t have an account on the anarchist instances. I can still interact with them and their communities if I want.

In fact, the only thing you need to look at is what you currently interact with. And if the server you choose still federates with where it comes from. This isn’t my first server either. Communities on hexbear and lemmygrad are going to be inaccessible on most other instances. But most of the rest are all fully federated.

To an extent. !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works !tankiejerk@piefed.social !tankiejerk@lemmy.world all document some. I don’t know that anyone is archiving en mass. It’s rather a moving target.

It’s common enough that many, seeing someone posting from an ML automatically become irritated and combative. Which you can see here to an extent. Bad experiences with their instances and select users are pretty wide spread.

As mentioned earlier, Lemmy got it’s start because it’s creators were so toxic they were banned from most other places. While many of us chose to leave reddit years ago as enshittification accelerated. Lemmy’s creators did it out of necessity. They couldn’t be kicked out of a place they ran, no matter how toxically they behave. They have been defederated /cut off from a decent chunk of the fediverse still. The only reason you were able to post here, is because Lemmy.ml being the flagship server/ Cess pool playground of the software’s developers. Is given some leeway. That and they didn’t brigade from that server specifically. They used the other two, hex and grad which are widely defederated because of it.

dot ml was the first sort of the original hub of the content aggregator part of the Fediverse. Designed and populated initially by political hypocrites who’s behavior and unpopular opinions saw them banned from everywhere else. But that hasn’t really been the case anymore for a while now.

Better part of a decade on and there are a number of other software stacks doing the same thing. And plenty more instances outside ML serving content to the larger Fediverse. Put it this way. If you avoid politics like the plague and only use communities on ML for extremely niche, tech, or fandom like things. You’ll probably have an okay experience. However, if you ever have a moment where you are forced to shore up your reality and beliefs against theirs. They’ll come down on you like a ton of bricks and most likely ban you. No matter the evidence you have or your good faith. Their reality is tenuous, and can not stand scrutiny.

The problem being that it isn’t even the mods over there. It’s the admins ruling with an iron fist in favour of their ideology. Contrasted with dot world, recently there was a broughaha about a moderator of a large community there, being reactionary and immature. When someone pressed the admins of the instance, whether or not they agreed with it or supported it. They said no. And left it at that. Because the individual hadn’t violated the rules and their fellow moderators hadn’t asked for it. It wasn’t their place to remove them for being unpopular. Conversely if you persist in disagreeing with CCP, FSB, or DPRK propaganda. No matter how civil or polite you are ml admins WILL find a reason to ban.

This is a message Demented are Go could really get behind.

I wouldn’t say most. But if a competition was held they’d definitely be a contender for sure.

100% It’s why I avoid communities on your instance. No instance is perfect. Certainly not the one I’m on. But because AP is decentralized and democratized. We can associate with whomever we consent. Don’t have to be subject to authoritarians right(Reddit) or left(ML). And that’s wonderful.

Unless it occurs within a “western” sphere of influence. You can do the same or worse in the east. Because they’re hypocrites.

It’s an allusion to chat control, banning books, etc. No good person wants that kind of control or power. But they are always misled into thinking that it’s necessary somehow to protect the public or protect the children. The sort of people, they think such control and legislation would be levied against. Actively seek it out, to wield it against the people who would hinder them.

Everyone contributes to their ability. Some can go all night. Others pop in for a little support now and again. It can still make all the difference.

You don’t even have to use the aur are to have breaking changes. Most recently they changed how vlc was packaged. And broke it causing a lot of problems for users.
