I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

For the record, I just added hexbear to the sjw blocklist.

Good to know, that whole thing was always a bit confusing

Basically we were in the process of having a discussion about defederating them, and then they blocked us before we could have a vote in c/Agora.

So it seemed like the problem was solved. But the fact that they don't appear on our blocklist has been misleading to others, so I think it's better to make it official.

Especially because they likely did it knowing they could sneakily refederate later without people knowing, which is probably what they did recently.
