Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads?
(programming.dev)
Welcome to the Programming.Dev meta community!
This is a community for discussing things about programming.dev itself. Things like announcements, site help posts, site questions, etc. are all welcome here.
Looks like a typical right wing instance to me. I personally don't feel like propaganda is enough of a reason to defederate. You have propaganda everywhere, even from official news outlets.
Their interactions in threads were unpleasant, and a small group of them were persistently provoking lemmyworld users.
If you search exploding-heads you might come across some examples, if they haven't been nuked from that instance.
Aside from that, I find Hexbear users really pleasant, and I've never seen a lemmygrad user provoke anyone 🤷♂️
While I'm personally bias (see right above), from my experience the general content in alt right spaces (I've been on wolfballs, idk about exploding heads tho) is a bit more unhinged than general content on Marxist/left unity spaces. I mean we MLs agree with the "vaguely leftist" person more than a alt right person.
I personally like to try meeting people where they are and don't block as long as the content isn't harmful. And imho a random person on the internet saying a 19th century philosopher was right is not that harmful, especially compared to people down the alt right rabbit hole (yes I'm oversimplifing).
The content that occasionally ended up in my All feed was mostly Hate against trans people (I.e. being happy about people's suicide), or complete nonsense conspiracies.
