I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
world won’t defederate from the right without a long drawn out process (see Exploding Heads for example). However, if someone posts “Karl Marx is great” or “Communism makes sense” or “capitalism is bad”, you’ll probably see a defederation before the enter key is hit. (Hexbear).
lemm.ee or lemmy.ml are where it’s at. I don’t think it’s great for power or userbase to be focussed on one instance. lemm.ee has 0.19 and world doesn’t despite their junior and senior infrastructure folk from their full 7 week interview process for volunteer positions.
Edit: People are on Lemmy likely because the actions of corporate Reddit went too far. In what universe would that demographic be cool with Facebook…
Hexbear is tankie shit, it has more in common with the right than anything else.
v0.19.0 has a giant federation bug. My instance hasn’t updated, either.
