I’m just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I’ll miss the voyager web app)

    Tried lemmy.world and lemmy.one but they were both down frequently last week. Bounced to lemm.ee and it’s been great so far. The admin is knowledgeable and cares about hosting.

    I moved to lemme.ee. i find the rules and regulations and reason for defederation in lemmy.world is so insane. and performance was also not good on lemmy.world. many users have made accounts on the server. Lemme.ee is fast and didn’t have any downtime till now.

    We need a basic set of criteria to vet new small instances as minimally viable, what are they?

    Just spitballing a few…

    • At least federated with large instances X, Y and Z…
    • X or above uptime percentage
    • no more than X ratio of users to posts
    • clearly stated content standards and a functional nazi/fascist/misinformation moderation effort

    What do you think the list should be?

    I’m liking lemmy.one. federates with big instances, rarely downtime, and downvotes are disabled.

    Good is subjective, given I can see all of the same content, and more.

    Also far fewer issues since I don’t have to support 100k users here.

    What do you mean by “just as good”.

    It really depends on if you mean amount of content, or are ok with there only being maybe one post a day but that being a quality post worthy of discussion.

    Í want to hear about both to be honest.

            At first glace, sure, but when you look into it deeper it’s a cowardly move. For one, Hexbear made it perfectly clear they expect their users to abide by the rules of the instances they visit and not cause trouble. Also,

            “Defederation should only be considered as a last resort . . . We made the decision to preemptively defederate”

            Along with their stated goal to (emphasis mine)

            Provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all members; regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic. Human comes first.

            Not to mention how long they dragged their heels defederating from the fascists at exploding heads yet are preemptively defederating from hexbear. And to top it all off there’s loads of comments calling hexbear users “Russian bot farms” and “a cesspool for genocidal lunatics.” The whole thing is ignorant as hell.

            On the other hand it was enough to convince me to switch away from lemmy.world, so there’s that.

              For one, Hexbear made it perfectly clear they expect their users to abide by the rules of the instances they visit and not cause trouble.

              The users at Hexbear made it perfectly clear in the discussions about federation that they weren’t going to respect that request and were openly encouraging each other to brigade other instances. They seem to have quite a number of participants who were really looking forward to being able to “bully the libs” and a quick scan showed several comments about sending offensive DMs to users of other instances. I was also able to find multiple HB users who openly admitted to already being banned multiple times from beehaw for trollish community breaking behavior.

              The idea that BH users would have been well behaved is wishful thinking as they’ve already shown the Fediverse how they behave. Their instance Admins and Users are also not shy with how they are approaching Federation. They very specifically want the freedom to participate in other instances without those instances being able to engage them. Put together they want the freedom to “own the libs” all across the Fediverse without having those same libs show up in their carefully crafted safe space. They want to eat their cake and have it too.

              To be clear I don’t agree with how Lemmy.World handled the blocking of Hexbear. I would strongly have preferred community engagement on the issue prior to the block but looking at the Troll Army being formed at HB I can’t necessarily fault the admins of LW either. Dealing with ideologically motivated extremists is a lot of work that no one wants to do.

                Source: trust me bro.

                I’ve looked through several Hexbear threads and I haven’t seen a single indication of this. The most common sentiment I’m seeing is “fuck 'em, we’re better off without them.” Link me these alleged comments, please.

                The idea that BH users would have been well behaved is wishful thinking as they’ve already shown the Fediverse how they behave.

                Frankly lemmy.world users have shown themselves to be considerably worse, straight up making shit up and calling Hexbear users “Russian bot farms” and “a cesspool for genocidal lunatics." All the incivility is coming from the frothing-at-the-mouth libs who can’t stand that other people might have genuine anti-imperialist views.

                ideologically motivated extremists

                “Extremists” lmao. The nerve of you calling HB a “troll army” after posting all these completely unsubstantiated lies.
