I recommend just signing up for another instance or five.
IMO, there's really no reason to "move" on Lemmy. If you see an instance that looks interesting, sign up for it. Spend some time there and poke around and see how it's different (they're all at least subtly different, since they all have different sets of federated instances and subscribed communities). If you see another one that interests you, sign up for it too. Keep going like that and eventually you'll find yourself settling into one or maybe a few not because you took a guess or followed someone else's recommendation, but because they simply turned out to be the ones you liked best.
I have no idea how many instances I've signed up for over the last couple of years - a couple of dozen at least. Of those, I generally have three or four that I use the most, though the specific ones have changed, as some of my earlier favorites have gone notably downhill or have shut down and new favorites have arisen.
All that said, overall I've been most satisfied with this account - Sopuli.xyz. I also spend a fair amount of time on dbzer0, lemm.ee and Fedia.io (which is notable because it's not Lemmy, but mbin, which is an entirely different piece of software that offers all the same basic functionality of Lemmy, but is formatted a bit differently, and in many ways is actually better than Lemmy). I have a .world account, and in fact it's my oldest account, but I find myself using it less all the time.
This is one of the most disturbing and discouraging things about our current era.
Clearly, the solution to the problem of people distrusting institutions because the officials in them are corrupt is to eliminate the corruption.
But this is far from the first time recently that I've seen an official express the idea that the problem is not that they in fact are corrupt, but that people point out their corruption - as if we're supposed to merely accept their corruption and grant them respect anyway, and somehow we're to blame for the problem because we won't do that.
It's astonishingly amoral. They're not merely, as is all too common amongst the ruling class, acting as if they're above the law, but overtly stating that they are, and faulting us for daring to treat them otherwise.
Never loan anyone anything unless you're willing to give it to them, because that could well turn out to be exactly what you're doing.
ETA another one that just came to me, that I've always liked because it's a witty turn of phrase in addition to being useful:
If you're doing something that leads you to wonder if you should have some safety gear (gloves, particle mask, hearing protection, etc.), then the answer is "Yes."
He collected kickbacks in exchange for sending kids to for profit jails. If anything, 17 1/2 years was too light a sentence - it should've been life withour parole. Let the motherfucker rot in one of those prisons himself - it'd serve him right.
If the United States was a family, Missouri would be the creepy bachelor uncle who drives a pickup with flags, won't set foot out of the house without a gun and has a computer with a Don't Tread on Me wallpaper and a D drive full of bondage porn.
It's as if it's written explicitly by and for some entirely separate social group that's sort of condescendingly viewing the quaint folkways of members of a "primitive tribe."
Which is likely pretty close to the truth, in a way.
Her hateful bigot piece of shit act is a bit too over-the-top, and I just don't entirely buy it. I keep thinking at least some part of it is that she's actually more of a greedy unethical piece of shit, and has figured out that hateful bigoted piece of shit is a profitable role to play, and she's playing it to the hilt.
Not that it matters - she's a piece of shit either way. It's just an idea that wanders through my mind, a bit more solidly every time, whenever she sleazes her way into the headlines.
He's a walking stereotype of a tech libertarian (which is to say, a shallow, bigoted, reactionary, right-wing IT guy who for some inexplicablec reason seems to think that all that's necessary to count as "libertarian" is to rail against "the woke mob.")
The first time I heard the term "mansplaining," I knew exactly what it meant, because it's his customary mode of communication. I already know that by about the third time I hear him say, " Well, what you have to understand is that..." I'm going to have to leave the room.
He likely won't bring up politics directly - not surprisingly, he's generally ignorant of both the philosophical side of it and the practical side of it. Instead, he'll bloviate about whatever the right-wing/tech media bubble is bloviating about, so essentially political issues without the complication of political context.
It's invariably awful, and it's always a matter not of if but merely of when I'm going to have to leave the room because the only alternative is going to be a messy verbal explosion. And I presume it's going to be worse than ever this year, since he'll undoubtedly want to mansplain the mindless dogma he's been fed about Trump and Musk and Ukraine and tariffs and immigrants and trans athletes and so on...
They believe that us not being forced to do what they want simply because they want it is a "privilege," and one that they can and will just arbitrarily decree to be null and void.
That says pretty much everything you meed to know about what they really think about everyone other than themselves.
And ironically enough, what they think is that they themselves are privileged.
Since when has reality made any difference at all to Trump?
He doesn't believe he has a mandate because the numbers add up that way, so he's not going to believe he doesn't because they don't. He believes he has a mandate because he's the bestest and smartest and most perfect president ever in the history of ever. And he's never going to stop believing that.
