Beehaw seems like a fun community but their admin likes censorship and their instance doesn't support free speech. I'm hoping we can build something comparable to @[email protected] on the free side on Lemmy.

502 Bad Gateway

Because burggit is pro pedophilia

Lemmings sounds perfect to me!

The problem is that lemmy.ml is the flagship instance.

It'd be different than saying, for example, r/TheDonald gave Reddit a reputation of being right wing. r/TheDonald clearly had no affiliation with Reddit writ large, while lemmy.ml is the flagship instance of the entire Lemmy project.

It's weird, they're run by mastodon.world but actually seem to be embracing diversity, for now

I lemmy user Denounce the terrible treatment Xi Jing Ping has inflicted upon the Uighur Muslims. Slavery and concentration camps in China are wrong and not ok.

No, it's proof that a community affiliated with the larger project can affect the project's reputation, while a community unaffiliated with the larger project typically does not do so.

The problem is just that the lemmygrad and lemmy.ml admins and mods are giving Lemmy as a whole a bad name. The same thing has happened to Mastodon.

Actually they cannot say this because they are probably employed by the Chinese Government and would be put to death if they did.

Based on what? According to who?

Because Android is technically open source and the hardware is free enough that I can install an alternative OS if I want to.

Also, the phones are cheaper and have headphone jacks!

Weird. Users should be able to block or mute instances.

This, their moderation practices have been noticeable enough that they're scaring users away with their blatant support of historically fascist regimes

I've found that the best way to load a post or community is actually to just copy the remote link and search for it. Communities usually take about 30 seconds to load but if you sit in the search results page for a bit it'll show up.

But you may want to make sure that your instance isn't blocked, by going to [instanceurl]/instances

It's 100% marketing, which is what this thread is about, no? Lemmy.ml's moderation practices are bad marketing for the project as a whole.

You post and comment histories would likely still be saved on any instances that federated with them previously, I would imagine.

Yes. I'm now a reformed pirate (no more pirating for me! Save lost media ofc) and I get a similar thrill by removing DRM from my DVD/Blu Ray & iTunes purchases.

What's wrong with the tone of mander.xyz?

It's not just lemmygrad, but lemmy.ml as well that are tarnishing Lemmy's reputation.
