Where there’s no “agenda” or biased mods/admins. I’d love a good community where if there’s issues, it’s handled fairly and with respect to both sides of the argument.
I don’t care how big or small it is. I’m willing to help it grow if need be, but I’d like to find somewhere that isn’t so obvious with its bias.
Your own instance
A question like this I would’ve expected in !casualconversation@lemmy.world
That depends on personal experience. Often we don’t think of something as biased until we find the bias. Some people might mention a bias they see that others don’t, and others vice versa. And bias is a spectrum. And sometimes the people have a bias but not the management, and vice versa. And even then, a place could be biased but tolerant or intolerant but unbiased.
If I had to choose, in my experience, Mastodon has been cozy. If only it had more people. Maybe that’s why it’s comfy.
Isn’t mastodon more like Twitter? I’m not crazy familiar with it to be honest.
Yes, in fact they tried riding off the fact Musk bought Twitter. Which in hindsight is understandable. To this day, Musk’s bias is the easiest bias in the world to underestimate. Still on both sites though, it on its own is not bad as it’s their sites.
I’m pretty happy with sh.itjust.works.
Why is this downvoted so much? It seems like a legit question, and there are good answers.
Clearly some instances have tons of bias, so asking for the opposite should be possible.
i think we’ve all seen enough chuds whine about their freeze peach. i also think it’s pretty naive to think there exists an instance without bias: that would be like saying there is a newspaper or tv news without bias.
so i don’t think this is a good question. it betrays ignorance or naivete, and can’t really be answerd succinctly.

All instances have an agenda. Some of them align closer to your ideals so they feel less notorious, but would be obvious for someone of opposing ideology.
At feddit.uk we have a pro-tea bias (!tea@feddit.uk) and a definite inclination towards talking about the weather.
D&D?

ye. most of the space channels dont seem to have much bias either
I personally like dbzer0. Anarchist instance owned by a former moderator of the piracy subreddit. (Obviously if you are right leaning politically you won’t be welcome, but that goes for basically the entirety of lemmy)
I’m not right leaning at all, but neither piracy, nor anarchy are things I’m interested in.

I was pretty happy with lemmy.world, only jumped ship there because they take forever to update the instance. Mander is good for what you describe but very limited in scope, which happens to suit me since I am well aligned with the scope.
Lemmy.world is only .world in name. Reality is that it’s very US centric.
I’m going to check that out. Thanks!
To be clear I’ve actually never seen such a dispute there, so ymmv.
kbin.social is pretty neutral, in my experience. There’s communities here for both the left and the right. There’s naturally going to be some clash in the comments from time to time, but it goes both ways fairly equally, from what I’ve seen.
That said, regardless of what instance you go with, your experience is going to be dictated largely by what communities you end up subscribing to.

Especially in social issues and politics there is no unbiased. In science you can often (not always) rely on evidence, which gets a lot of its own bias (yes, scientific papers have biases) removed by being peer reviewed and supported by many other scientists (hoping to cancel out the internal biases). Though in social issues and politics its very different. Sure, there are scientific papers here too, but they cannot give definite answers on what to do about it. You get a bunch of facts without definitiv reason (like the number of births in a country with only hints on what might (!) influence this number) and politics is often about how things should be, according to people. Very different people eith many different opinions on how things should be.
Probably you could look through the sidebars of many instancesn searching for one, that fits your own view of what is “unbiased”. Though not clearly stating what that means socially and politicly can make this difficult.
