I am exploring Lemmy right now and what I see is very worrying to me, but I also don’t understand wth is going on with some instances here. I don’t know if it’s smart to post this, but here we go.
I am partial to Marxist and anarchist ideology, but lemmygrad looks completely unhinged to me. Is it a parody? Some content is fine and some of it is insane.
On the other hand, beehaw looked super inviting from the outside and I even applied to join them. Then, I looked closer and that instance’s moderation looks totalitarian and rigid in the other way. (I understand why they blocked lemmygrad though…)
I’m seeing this impact other communities in different ways and there’s some kind of witch hunt happening on both sides…
I want to interact with people that can respect each-other and that can hold open-minded discussions about any topics without devolving into some tribal war.
Beehaw is for some general communitys like technology, news and other big stuff. They didn’t create anything specific. So it is only for these basic communitys and everything else is federated.
I think that it is for people that don’t know where to create account - you start with these basic communitys everything else you can find throughout Feddiverse.
I hope that in future there will be some breaking of instances to smaller more specific instances.
