your admins also run lemmygrad. only you can decide if you should leave. personally, i like beehaw, slrpnk, dbzero, and blahaj. one important aspect to understand about the fediverse is that your instance is part of the identity you present to others
It has nothing to do with your identity. They all have different rules and different communities. Its more like which hotel chain you prefer to stay at. Its a preference for sure, but one that doesnt matter much.
People who judge based on instance are only outing themselves anyways. Churlish.
Ugh. Yeah I’ve heard that "it isn’t the best. It was the easiest to sign up for when the reddit exodus happened. I’m anti Israel and pro Ukraine and I’m always busy with real life/my own hobbies. I just don’t have the bandwidth for finding the best instance. C
You don’t have to switch, its like email, you can just have multiple. The phone apps for lemmy have an account switch feature so you can use more than one. The sign ups aren’t much more difficult than worlds in most cases. Some require a manual approval which can take some time.
Personally I left world because of how antagonistic they are towards vegans. I don’t mind a good debate but its crazy to me that the majority opinion there is that veganism is about as taboo as child rape.
I would put some effort into switching when you have a weekend. There isn’t necessarily a best, just best for you. The ones quill mentioned up the thread are all solid though. I’m a dbzero guy myself but blahaj is cool and I haven’t had issues with people from any of the other servers he’s mentioned. .ml, .hexbear, .grad, and .vegan whatever that instance is are all no go in my book for various reasons.
Personally, I’m fine with seeing differing opinions. On the political side, they get a bit obsessed with dunking and all these in-group memes for my tastes.
The entirety of lemmy.ml would like a word.
I signed up to Lemmy without knowing much about instances, can’t remember exactly why I picked lemmy.ml but it wasn’t politics.
Is this really a generalisation people have? Should I move…?

We live next to corn and soybeans.
Hey I’ve been looking for someone to ask, and you seem to know, is Lemmy.world cool?
It’s the most ‘mainstream’, for better and for worse.
Probably best to use a smaller instance instead of .world. The less centralized Lemmy is, the better.
theyve been concerning me lately

Ah, see I realized they were either all bad faith actors, bots, or idiots ages ago and don’t federate with them.
