Or something that goes a bit deeper onto each instance and explains them better? I have a mutual on mastodon that I recommended Lemmy to, and tried to link join-lemmy.org/instances, but it doesn’t really do much to warn about hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml/etc. Those instances are defederated from a LOT of lemmy and i don’t want my moot to sign up there and not even know that they’re not really experiencing the Lemmy experience that I’m recommending.
I don’t wanna start a war in the comments about instance dramas, I just wanna find a better resource to recommend Lemmy as a ‘reddit alternative’ -w-


My mutual is very anti authoritarian, that’s why they got a warning on Reddit. I imagine they aren’t welcome on your instance 😂
Like I said

The truth is that .ml doesn’t screen for ideology past a basic formality. However, many .ml posters have indeed studied enough Marxist-Leninism to recognize that the word “authoritarian” was perverted by imperialists to mean “communist” and is more of an indication that someone using it is clueless than it is a useful adjective.
ngl it’s always weird when certain very loud ‘anti-authoritarians’ have no problem with the system that unpersons you if you can’t pay rent
I never said that?
wasn’t talking about you specifically.
there’s a lot of people who make complaining about ‘tankies’ their main political expression on here, while simultaneously having zero issue with liberal capitalist authoritarianism and US warmongering
ah, fair enough.
