I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

    More countries doing a genocide is not an argument against another one doing it

            Sure. But denying a happening genocide can be as right wing as claiming a fake one

            Just because nazis use the same words, doesn’t invalidate all cases where these words are used

                And because nazis use it, there exist no genocides?

                    I’d advise the same to you. Because I think that we are agreeing

                    Stop being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian

              No one said it does. Either you’re still missing the point or you’re intentionally straw manning.

              Edit to add: As to whether the genocide claim holds water, I covered that separately in the “Previously” of the same comment above, as well as elsewhere before[1][2][3][4]. The burden of proof isn’t on genocide deniers but genocide accusers, which is why I say that it isn’t a “cheat code,” as the absurd allegations of South African “white genocide” show.
