Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Welcome! We don't have pedos, but we do have our fair share of extremist leftists. I'd advice against visiting communities on the hexbear and lemmygrad instances if you are not pro-communism/russia/china.
Furthermore you might want to read up on the idea of "instances" and what makes the fediverse different from lemmy. It helps explain how communities work here, but you can also just figure it out on the go.
The lemmy.ml instance, for example, is the OG instance. It has a few far-left communities and users, but plenty of a-political communities and user as well.
My isntance, sh.itjust.works, is a general-purpose instance based in Canada.
You're on PieFed, which is different from Lemmy for some reason haha.
So long as you block all the loli anime.
I'm glad nobody on this instance subscribes to that kind of content.
It's all that Moe guy.
Moe Lester?
You'd think with a name like that they'd have caught him by now
Gods, yeah. There’s a lot of creepy shit floating around if you don’t have the NSFW filter on.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that we’re better than Reddit because the user base is better (we definitely have some amazing people though). Lemmy is better than Reddit because it’s decentralised and not under the thumb of a big corporation.
As far as I can tell, Piefed exists because some people didn't like that the lemmy devs are communists.
I haven't looked into piefed, I'm exclusively going off what pro-piefed/anti-lemmy users have said.
That's not right. If anything, the problem would be that they support aggressive authoritarian regimes or that they're more anti-west than communist.
I left lemmy because of the nutomic, yogthos, and dessalines. horrible people who have too much influence/control on all things lemmy and will ban/silence you for anything. check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
But then they could have used Mbin, which is older than Piefed?
Iirc wasn't it because python is easier for beginners to learn than rust and php, so it's easier to get more contributors and thus deliver features faster?
Piefed is way nicer to use than mbin, feature rich.
I've used all three mentioned. While I don't like the lead Lemmy dev, I actually just like Piefed more it's not just out of principal.
They're not commies, they're tankies.
Tankies are far removed from communism, they don't care for communist ideals or communist values, they only care for authoritarianism.
This really is the beauty of the fediverse: every instance has it's own character, and even if we don't agree on specific stances, we are still connected and it reduces the bubble effect massively. I believe this open discourse and the not-politial-motivated algorithm are the best way to reduce extremism, and if you don't want to engage with a group you can filter it. @soggysandwich@piefed.social - if you find an instance which fits your believes better, don't hesitate to switch, you can export and import your subscribed communities easily. Welcome!
oh my god i actually thought lemmy.ml stood for lemmy marxist-leninist this whole time.
It does, but it is also a general-purpose isntance. It was long the default landing page on join-lemmy.org, but that is no longer the case. That's why there are a lot of people on there who aren't lenninist-marxist. It is still one of the biggest instances.
It doesn't, the Mali TLD was free/cheap for a while (no longer)
it is now, it was general for tech people. but its mostly ultra-left propaganda vomit. if you look at how they comment is extremely uncanny if not similar to how right wingers comment. i also notice they are trying to takeover political memes community too.
