Leaving the fediverse (self.fediverse)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by NuMetalAlchemist to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it's tankies all the way down, and it's just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow, well, until the nazis and tankies are gone, that shit just ain't gonna happen.

Y'all have fun.

Except the nazis/tankies.

Y'all go play in traffic.

Theres still hundreds of options for you to try, including Kbin which is completely different from Lemmy.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Sounds like you want to either create an account on Lemmy.world where all the tankie and fash instances are already blocked or wait a few weeks/months for the user specific domain blocking update to go through.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 3 points 1 year ago

Guess which instance banned me, leading to my point. They are still tankie-sympathetic, as noted by the fact the JUST NOW defederated from lemmygrad. They hide it well, but they still have that lean.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Well, that's one instance. Sh.itjust.works had them blocked from the get go

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 2 points 1 year ago

Shhh, this conversation is about lemmy.world

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

I thought it was about the fediverse as whole?

Yeah I really don’t agree with that. I want to be on an instance that only defederates as a last resort. As stated in the defederation post, they only just now fully defederated as the volume of lemmygrad’s rule violating exceeded their ability to moderate.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, so you want a free speech instance. So if that is what lemmy.world is supposed to be, why do they ban folks that disagree with them? Why do they delete comments? What you are describing and what lemmy.world is are not matching up, my friend.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They don’t purport to be a free speech instance. Bans I’ve seen are for rule breaking, but I’ll admit I have found some of their interpretations of spamming or trolling to be heavy handed. I’ve said as much in meta threads and haven’t been banned so I’ve stuck around. There’s so many instances out there now I’m sure you can find something that aligns with your personal views.

I hear lemm.ee has a pretty open federation policy.

[-] lgstarn@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

Man, I did not realize how much I missed this kind of dumb high school drama type of social media post until I saw this one.

Oh no Brian, please don't go... the Fediverse needs you! 😂

Thanks for the soap opera fix!

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Good luck finding a safe space where everyone agrees only with you.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 8 points 1 year ago

I ain't asking anyone to agree with me. They are the ones who banned someone for disagreeing with them.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That is when you unsubscribe.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 4 points 1 year ago

Cool, my account is gone, but whatever. I think my life will be better without this place in general. So I'll pass.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

You going to run into the exact same types anywhere you go. You have to learn to not feed the trolls.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 4 points 1 year ago

What if I go nowhere? What if I just abandon this social media dopamine dispenser altogether? Then I won't have to listen to asshats from half way around the world try to explain why genocide is okay sometimes.

[-] Lauchs@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

For someone who says they are leaving, you're really dragging it out.

[-] Remmock@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

You get dopamine from this?

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

that's obviously your call, but if what you were expecting here is something you desire, where else are you going to get that?

(im asking this question genuinely, I'd like to know if there are other alternatives out there.)

I don't see many tankies, maybe its the communities you're subscribed to?

[-] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I've seen very little. Theyre mostly congregated on hexbear and keep to themselves unless summoned.

[-] SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo 4 points 1 year ago

Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Nice instance name!

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

i browse nothing but all. I've seen maybe a handful of posts that maybe featured a single tankie in the comments.

granted, I'm on kbin. maybe that's making the difference

[-] Jaytreeman@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on kbin too. I haven't seen any of the things that I see a lot of posts complaining about. (Beehaw, hexbear)

I'm also pretty far left. I'm not a tankie though. I'm curious how much of the complaining is just right wingers bitching about reasonable opinions

You know what's more effective than a post about leaving?

Just leaving.

[-] ram@bookwormstory.social 16 points 1 year ago
[-] Ab_intra@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

You know there is other instances that is more focused on other stuff than what you're referring to right?

Lemmy.world for instance just defederated from Leningrad.

[-] jabeez@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Do you see "tankies" in the room with you right now?

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, they are behind you doing bunny ears behind your head.

[-] jabeez@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, shit, I'M in the room with you right now?!? Am......am I a......"tankie"????

[-] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Great idea, terrible execution.

That sounds kind of like communism. lol

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 2 points 1 year ago

For real. Like, I get the concept of commune living, but the larger the commune, the more of a threat human nature becomes.

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I've never heard of "tankie" before...can I just google it?

[-] crandlecan@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.

[-] Binthinkin@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love how people still think it’s the 1950’s.

Grow up loser dad who probably never got an actual education or has any experience traveling.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 10 points 1 year ago

What in tarnation!? 🤠

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

From seeing your responses in this thread, your opinion is not what got you banned, your attitude is. You for sure should be banned even if you were talking that way while agreeing with the people that would be banning you.

If you don't want bad things to happen to you on social media, don't post while angry.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 4 points 1 year ago

Well you kids have been a barrel of fun, but it's time for sundown. Try not to let the extreme fringes burn this place to the ground! Holler at y'all never! 🤠

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Good riddance lol

[-] nicman24@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

kbin.social + aggressive blocking magazines is pretty cool

[-] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 3 points 1 year ago

Tbf, most of the fediverse isn't lemmy.
