Lemmy.ml is?!? That's who I signed up for though. I like the privacy stuff. So which instance is politically neutral but technically aligned, pirate party, self hosting etc?
Yes Lemmy.ml is the most popular of the tankie instances. They will ban you, remove your posts, etc in most major communities if you say anything negative about CCCP, Russia, Communism, etc.
I can recommend lemmus.org as a very fast and efficient instance. Remember, you don't have to have an account on the instance who's communities you want to access. You can access communities on all instances from any instance. So the policies of your home instance don't really affect you much. They only affect the communities hosted there.
Why is Lemmy.ml the most popular tankie instance? I've been played by Poo bear, interesting. Thanks I will switch.
ml literally stands for Marxist Leninist aka tankies aka red fascism
I can 2nd lemmus.org, it's pretty chill over here. The admin has blocked the creation of new communities for the time being however, so if you want to start a new comm you're better off looking elsewhere.
Yeah I look to bigger instances to host communities I create and smaller ones to host my account for speed.
politically neutral <> pirate party
Pick one
I don't see many self-hosters celebrating the wonders of capitalism.
Not dominated by Chinese, Russian nor Western state actors. That's all I'm asking for. Where truth isn't censored.
Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances if they decide to defederate, but at least on your instance you'll be able to enjoy free speech (and block unwanted speech).
I've been pretty happy here on lemmy.zip. We haven't defederated from the tankie instances so you still see their content sometimes, but you can always filter them yourself. Same with the zionists on lemmy.world.
There is no such thing as “politically neutral.” What you perceive as neutral is that which is hegemonic.
If you're concerned about privacy, you should probably know that a lot in the fediverse is very open by design so that other instances can communicate effectively.
That's why everyone can see what you upvote/downvote, even if Lemmy itself doesn't show this to you in its UI.
I'm a big fan of my instance im on so fat. sh.itjust.works/
They are more focused on a working platform then silecing dessent
