As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here’s the book referenced by the shooter:

By request: Full, uncensored video of the shooting. (Fucking obviously NSFW)

Jury nullification: A practical FAQ

Do I have to answer questions about jury nullification?

I want to find a new home instance, just randomly picked this one when I signed up moving from reddit.

Anybody got any suggestions or one’s to avoid?

Personally I’d recommend picking an instance that at least has Hexbear and Lemmygrad blocked, as that removes 95% of the toxicity you’d see on the platform. You can check what an instance blocks by scrolling to the bottom of their main page and clicking the instances link.

Sopuli.xyz is a really solid medium sized general instance, with good admins and an updated lemmy.

Lemmy.cafe is a nice small instance (not much local activity, so you’ll need to rely on the All view and your subscriptions for that one).

If you have affinity with Anarchism (or environmentalism or sailing the high seas), Slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0 are both excellent.

But if you’d like a more themed instance that appeals to a particular interest, by all means go for that instead. https://lemmyverse.net/ or the instance finder tool at https://join-lemmy.org/ are good places to find one. :)

Tbh Hexbear and Lemmygrad users aren’t very toxic unless you go into their communities and post liberal cringe

You’re a tankie, of course you don’t see an issue with their behaviour. You were never the target of it.

You can block those on any instance.

Unfortunately an individual blocking an instance only stops posts from those instances from showing up, but you can still see comments and responses from the users of the blocked instance.

hexbear is objectively the best instance once you learn how to not be a liberal on there. best community, best vibes, best memes

I notice you’ve gotten suggestions to steer away from them because of toxicity. They’re toxic to transphobes and imperialists. People who consider themselves on the left get absolutely enraged at being criticized morally from the left. Look behind anyone complaining about them and you’ll realize they said some wild shit and got rightfully scorned.

I think the only things that matter are connectivity and defederation. As long as you have a continuous healthy connection to them (no lag, etc) and they don’t defederate from the rest of the fediverse you should be ok.

https://lemm.ee is generalist, second biggest instance, cool admins, federated with almost everyone

Lemmy.zip is a bit more techy, but very transparent: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300 also federated with almost everyone

If you look for instance defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad, there is https://sopuli.xyz/ and https://discuss.online/

https://reddthat.com/ is nice too, but disables downvotes

Discuss.Online is currently federated with hexbear.net, but there is an active petition to defederate from it.

When I first joined Lemmy, I made the same mistake.

I’m now on lemm.ee, which is quite a tolerant instance with none of the bullshit… at least not yet. .sdf is also a good instance (I have that as a backup account).

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

Create post

This is a community in the spirit of “Am I The Asshole” where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
  • Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
  • Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance’s code of conduct. In other words we won’t allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
