  • I think that is all too frequent throughout the entire fediverse; just the topics change.

    I have blocked entire popular communities on many servers to not get caught up in that.

    There are some topics I just have to type a few keystrokes and I manage to attract controversy. And I do not understand why. What’s the big deal? Why do people hate me? And some instances are just weird to me, but others love it and find them important. Some instances are more in touch with my own weirdness.

    I think if I have learned anything by my adventures, is not to demonize any instance used by a large group of people, but recognize there are different types of oddballs lurking there, waiting …








  • Am old, remember feeling the same as you youngsters. The sad fact is a lot of people are bad, and usually when they get older they become worse either through mental decay, denial of being bad parents, a constant physical pain built up over the years, etc etc

    The only way to fix the system is to burn it to the ground. But funny thing is, everyone wimps out




  • I personally like many hexbear communities. In particular I like the news there

    I am allergic to many communities on world. This is due to my personal beliefs.

    But, I subscribe to communities on many instances including world. And I have learned when to tip toe and not to advocate for a worker’s revolution in gardening, for example.

    I think the fediverse is like a river, you can fight some sections and be exhausted, or just go with the flow and enjoy the changing scenery


  • looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

    All the instances are good in their own way, but at least one will irritate you very much, and it’s always different. There are ways each one can make you go “why???”

    There are commenters who will call one or more instances bad things. That may or may not be accurate for you.

    Each large instance has one or more crazy mods, all instances mostly have decent mods. Each instance will have multiple examples about why it’s good or horrible.



  • There is always hope. It’s just that there are no daily stats yet.

    I’m not an expert; but after looking at political turmoil in the last few decades I tend to categorize this stage as the “march of the idealists”, lovely bunch of people who would not hurt a fly.

    Not sure if when or how the less kind sort of people come in. Usually, something has to rile up those people. And it’s not done by sympathetic stories or appeals to the heart strings.
