What good is it for if I can’t change post title font to Comic Sans.

I don’t have problem with porn either but it’s just not convenient. If your instance doesn’t block porn instances then your All page will be flooded with junk and you’ll have to painstakingly go through blocking them yourself. It’s easier to have a separate account for porn if you want to use Lemmy that way.

It’s very clearly phrased. I’m saying that if you want a newcomer instance then defederating porn instances is more important than instance that doesn’t really go out of its way to interfere with other communities. Sopuli is actually one of the first instances to block Hexbear outright when other big instance admins hesitated to.

I won’t argue that I know what was your intention when asking the question but you definitely didn’t phrase it as criteria for you specifically but rather newcomers in general.

Title: „Which reasonably sized instance to recommend newcomers?”

Criteria: „I have no interest in trying to persuade my friends to create an acc and set up instance blocks before diving in”

OP: „but what about me”

It doesn’t block porn instances though. I’d argue that because of this sopuli.xyz might be better choice even if it doesn’t block lemmy.ml.

What a weird coping mechanism for staying on that neoliberal zionist website.

With ActivityPub every AP client works as AP-based platform frontend if you try hard enough. No idea how Friendica would do but I use a separate Mastodon account to stay up to date on some low traffic Lemmy communities because it’s more convenient.

Friendica?

D’oh!

It’s supposed to be multiplatform but I’m seeing APKs only?

There’s no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn’t overwhelm moderators.

So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.

That’s why I keep saying it’s pointless to defederate corpos. They’ll just scrape everything before you notice.

I was among reddit refugees a year ago and it took me a moment to notice what was going on ml and their communities were more significant in comparison to what we have today.

One of the reasons I’m on sopuli.xyz now is that it was one of the first reasonably big instances to defederate hexbear outright. Hesitance and outright hostility to defederate it from some instance admins was also worrying.

Do Dota2 players even keep up with this? I tried to come back but checked out when I saw random neutral drops. It was always a bit overwhelming but it looks more and more insane every time I do it.

I haven’t played in ages but innates / facets seem like a big deal, no?

It’s the common spaces / topic-based communities that are mostly affected by this so there’s no escaping this if you’re here for the news etc

Even on gaming subs it seems like every other post results in a discussion about the evils of capitalism.

I think it depends on community, I avoid all .ml ones for that reason. Don’t get me wrong, I could go on about evils of capitalism for hours if prompted but the real issue is that most of the user base is 13 years old either in their actual age or mentally so you’re seeing same performative cynicism over and over again. I’m also getting a feeling that over last 3-4 months it got much worse.
