Why are people joining .world to begin with? The entire point of this is to decentralize. Joining the by far largest instance beats the entire purpose.

Join smaller ones like lemmy.one, lemmy.club, lemmings.world, lemmy.zip etc. We might need to start specifically recommending against .world and for general purpose instances like those.

Also, funny how even reddit allows r/Piracy but not .world lol

Very common amerika L

The dev really needs to change that then.

Perhaps have a system of selecting randomly from a set of hand-picked general purpose instances at sign-up, where having less people gives it a higher chance of being picked (if it's of at least a certain size of course, to prevent spam etc)

Damn alot of good things happening for Linux adoption recently huh

It's a strictly leftist instance lol (even more so than dbzer0), of course they'll ban liberals and other right-wingers (and your removed comments seem to be complaining about pronouns for some reason?)

Disagree about there not being good discussions on it; I regularly see the more interesting discussions on Lemmy on that instance, so long as you're acting in good faith.

It's exactly what its description says

You can go and ask Hexbear users themselves about it on their general megathread

db0 isn't holding back for the lemmy libs and I'm here for it

This, folks, is how not to have a conversation

toots.matapacos.dog is a general leftist unity instance including anarchists. Though I'm not sure if they allow NSFW.

It's a shitpost about assassinating a capitalist making a brand around "philanthropy". Kinda like Bill Gates in that regard, and is on track to also becoming a billionaire off of this brand.

MrBeast: Capitalism & Philanthropy

Me neither, but killing some of the capitalist class has always been part of leftist revolutions so I can let this one slide.

Banning users with certain "opinions" isn't a bad thing on its own, but on .world that grain seems to be the corporate-bootlicking grain of Reddit.

Honestly, seeing enough of their posts and discussions over the months turned me from left-leaning to a full-blown commie

Imo the issue here is that how Lemmy works right now, or maybe just its apps, seems to have the trend of pushing most people onto the largest instance(s) like .world

If the point of the Fediverse is to have a decentralized userbase, that trend needs to be reversed.

Even if we give .world admins the benefit of the doubt and say they got in legal trouble or something this time, having a userbase properly spread across many instances would prevent that instance from being the obvious target.

Instance checks out lol

China is already on track to producing the most nuclear energy out of any country, and is the world leader in green energy already.

It's just that they have such a massive population, are highly developed yet are still developing, that this still isn't enough to meet their energy needs.

Damn I didn't know Hexbear was this based

Don't think downvotes should be a thing tbh. Just enforces majority opinion even when it's wrong.

Some instances like Hexbear, Reddthat and Blahaj have downvotes disabled though.

Hexbear is at the top by quality, not quantity 😔

Fortunately anyone using Lemmy is likely not one of those "most users"
