Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

    May I ask what those instances are? I’m assuming .ml is Marxist Leninism (mask off) but idk what hexbear is. Are there any instances which are specific to my interests such as anime and music?

      Hexbear was worse, very pro China/Russia/North Korea, but I think they didn’t renew their domain license, so the server went down. Lemmygrad is the same way, I think it’s still active. .ml I didn’t think is too bad, just block yogaths or whether their name is.

            any support I’ve seen has been critical, lib instances often straight up uncritically support US empire and call that anti-authoritarianism

              We’re not taking about the US, we’re talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don’t really have much more to talk with you about, you’re just wrong.

                From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn’t stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being ‘anti-authoritarian’, the sentiment is mutual.

      • lemmy.ml is one of the original instances, run by Lemmy developers Dessalines and crew. ML for them stands for “Marxism-Leninism”, not “Mali.” They have a reputation for censoring criticism of Russia and China, but have a number of mainstream-ish communities.
      • hexbear recently lost the Hexbear.net domain name due to a registration screwup. Last I heard they are hosted at chapo.chat. They have a reputation for “dunking” on non-tankies.
      • lemmygrad.ml I know the least about, as I’ve been defederated for nearly my whole Lemmy lifetime. Allegedly pretty tankies.
      • ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That’s about as much as I know.

      Update: it seems that hexbear.net is back to hosting hexbear.net.

        The problem is definition of NSFW is different for all Lemmy user. One time I posted a Official Art of [email protected] and it got reported for not labelling NSFW. That pic doesn’t even have any thing like Fanservice or Showing Clothes. Just normal School Uniform.

            But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.

              NSFW stands for “not safe for work” - the label literally exists so that users know what to avoid to make the service usable at work without risk of getting fired over it.

              And why wouldn’t you want to use it at work? Breaks are a thing, many people try to spend them trying to recharge by doing something that takes them out of the work mindset for a bit, and Lemmy is perfect for that.

              You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That’s technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.

                    So, What .world gonna ban me? They don’t have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can’t make me stop using Lemmy. It’s already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.
