Thanks!

Code is opensource, if they were to put a backdoor or anything that would be seen, and once detected, the code can be forked

**People just want a good conversation **

Feel free to join at !casualconversation@lemm.ee

LW is already much more active than lemmy.ml (18k monthly active users vs 2.5k: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so the system is working, people have left for a less politically biased instance

Thank you!

Could you please add !movies@lemm.ee to the movies section?

There is also

• !interestingasfuck@lemm.ee
• !imaginary@reddthat.com

that might interest people

convince them to crack down on bad actors

The Lemmy devs have expressed several times that they don't want to interfere on how people use their software (e.g. admin the instances and mod the communities).

Which is good (and allow us to say that they can't indeed interfere with Lemmy as a whole), but that also means that they won't be the one "cracking down on bad actors"

https://gui.fediseer.com/ might be something along those lines, with a chain of trust between instances

To be honest I might have forgotten to ping you actually (maybe because you were less active for a bit and I basically mentioned people when I saw their posts in All?) but at least now it is solved!

Really depends on the topic.

!movies@lemm.ee for instance is more active than !movies@lemmy.world

!games@sh.itjust.works is a good alternative to !gaming@lemmy.world

There is !til@lemmy.ca vs !todayilearned@lemmy.world

But LW communities are mostly fine. The top priority on Lemmy is to get communities active, we can always migrate them later if needed.

!linux@lemmy.world seems ok, I guess if any people move to it it will become even more active

!linux@programming.dev could probably be a nice one too if people want to avoid hypercentralization on LW

Hm, good point, I never noticed. I'm pretty sure they were around a few weeks ago, probably a network hiccup indeed.

who can’t stop talking about their ex

Is it still the case? I found most the Reddit discussions happening on !reddit@lemmy.world nowadays

Welcome back!

Hexbear are known to be quite argumentative about politics, leading to most people blocking the instance overall at the user level.

That's basically it, if you want more details you can have a look at the instance itself, you should get what I mean quite fast.

Ah, makes sense!

Lemmy really runs the risk of being “left wing Truth Social” otherwise.

Indeed. I'm still on /r/RedditAlternatives to talk about Lemmy, and I usually have to explain that most of the instances do not share the political stances of the main devs.

it would behoove the admin of more reasonable instances to make it more obvious that there is a sizable and aggressive group of people with nearly unlimited (internet) power, and making it clear that they do not associate at all with those instances/individual practices.

The situation here is a bit tricky: instance admins still have to debug the software (as they are the ones using it), and they have to interact with the Lemmy devs. Getting too much friction with them could break that collaboration, and leave everyone with worse software.

https://sublinks.org/ is still under development, hopefully once it will be ready instance admins will have another option to potentially replace Lemmy

Pretty hard to boot when they own the instance

Compatible alternative to Lemmy: https://sublinks.org/

No worries, thanks anyway!

It really does the other large instances a disservice that those mod/admin practices are so commonplace.

Agree.

On the other hand nowadays now most of the communities are on LW (https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active) so at least it's a bit better compared to a year ago.

One particularly humorous youtube even did a “One of the great things about lemmy is that you can block particularly problematic communities. Let’s use hexbear as an example. Please follow along” gag to show how to block an entire instance at the user level.

Interesting, do you have a link to the video?

A new post has been created about this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

I guess we'll start people moving from that instance more and more as time passes
