Is Lemmy community nice to new users?
-
I have nothing against your instance's moderators or users, but I'm not quite sure the admins of your instance follow the same guidelines.
I would really recommend newcomers pick a home instance like db0 over .ml or .world, and be aware of the instance cultures when posting on communities in either. For .ml, avoid criticizing the CCP, and for .world, avoid expressing any desires that can be even remotely seen as "violence".
-
If the worst happens there are many instances to choose from, and it seems easy to get your preferred username
-
This is bullshit, flyingsquid banned me for saying Biden is too old and genocidal and the DNC will lose by running a "everything is fine and you're wrong" campaign. And then it happened. I've blocked your shit instance ever since.
-
You are WAY better than .world
-
What a fucking whinge
-
sure..
-
Yeah, I never said .world is any good either. Both of them have Ye Old' Power Tripping Bastards worthy moderation.
-
Is that Why I see so many gaps?? How do you check which are and aren't federated. I want to see as many as possible, even if they're dipshit ones
-
Its also quite a tense time in the world. A lot of people are stressed beyond belief.
-
I'm going to kill you

Most of Lemmy was extremely hostile during the US elections but that has mostly passed.
-
Also on Lemmy you can see the moderation history for any user or comment.

Do with that info what you will. It's very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

Varies wildly from instance to instance. At this point, most instances have their own "culture" and ideological leanings, if you go against your instance's grain then you will run into more friction. I can help if you give a broad overview of your political leanings and interests, or you can browse the major instances and see which most appeals to you.

Leave it, only the Americans know what to do and progressive Europe... The rest of the Russians, the Chinese are stupid animals for them who can't do anything, don't know and shouldn't know! So....
-
Only Americans can test a nuclear bomb on living people, in the name of democracy. The rest are not allowed! For the rest, this is a crime!

Is this sincere? I'm curious if people are sinophobic or anti Russian.

I had a fun time trying to explain why I voted for stien, I had to tell people the president part of the ballot is the one I have the least impact on and If people were to convince me not vote stien that is leave that part blank
-
both .world and lemm.ee are conservative enough for each one to have their own thriving conservative sub communities; i doubt op would get down votes from them.

Thank you for doing the right thing.
