My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given

I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren’t as awful as told in that post I made

How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?

    I’m not a fan of lemmy.world for 2 reasons:

    • They are the biggest instance,
      while the fediverse should be spread out,
      to prevent centralization/monopoly over the system.
    • They de-federated from instances in the past (e.g. dbzer0), and I don’t like sensorship.

    However I do not hate them, nor their users,
    just not a fan.

    I’m not that familiar with Hexbear,
    but also haven’t ran into any issues with their users either.

      Deferating means one cannot see communities etc right?

      Im on db0 but I can see .world communities and users.

      Or does defederating allow the blocked instance to see the content still?

        .world specifically banned discussion or promotion of piracy because the admins are intellectual property nerds, and I think blocked the piracy comms of db0
