Does it actually matter?

    Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad as well as tech.de (or something similar) I might host myself sometime later. I was on mastodont a while before , went back and tired of proprietary again. This time I am thoroughly fed up and will stay.

    For me defederation is good. I see the problem with filterbubbles but I’m to old for this shit. I rather be in my bubble.

    lemmy.ml because when I joined I had no idea of how the fediverse worked. I’d change it to a smaller one but it really doesn’t matter much I don’t think.

    I tried to find a server that isn’t blocking anyone, and hasn’t been defederated by any of the big servers.

    I want to avoid an echo-chamber and have access to everything on the fediverse, including stuff I find distateful. If anything really bothers me I will block the community/instance myself, I don’t want others making that choice for me.

    Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of folks out there just searching for an excuse to clutch their pearls, rile up a mob, and defederate anything and everything that offends them.

    I don’t want to circlejerk in a safe space echo chamber, I want to see both the yin and the yang of humanity. I want that wild west feeling of the internet of old

    I’m on lemmy.sdf.org because it’s widely federated and run by a trustworthy organization.

    I’m not much of a tech bro - in fact I struggle with troubleshooting basic Linux issues. That’s why I mostly interact outside of my local instance.

    I hardly engage with the techy discussion on SDF, but I appreciate the high quality user base.

      I’m also on SDF. They’ve been in the business of offering free computing resources to the public since the 80s. So I feel confident that they won’t close up shop due to lack of expertise or resources.

        I was going to come in here and praise SDF but I see I’m too late

        Damn you Dark Souls Remastered for taking me away from Lemmy for a bit!

        I guess I’ll link the FAQ for SDF here for anyone interested in learning more

        and also mention that SDF runs a Mastodon and Pixelfed instance for all your federation needs

      Even lemmy.word, at least for me, was difficult to join. I have a hard time to log into the account I have created there. I think we must understand this is not redit, the platform is fundamentally different how you approach it. The fuller the server gets, the more difficult it gets to get into your account.
