Almost everyone is on Lemmy.world, so.... I don't know. Don't think they made a choice. People who are not on Lemmy.world made a choice at least.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
Other than the one we are all thinking of here, I can't say I really agree.
2, hexbear and lemmygrad.
I don't mind hexbear
I used to, but they either got blocked or defeded,. either way my experience got WAY better.
I haven't thought about how that works.
If other instance users post on a problematic instance by accident or because there's a useful community, I wouldn't want those hidden.
Then again if it, preferably, only hides the users of the problematic instance, that doesn't really solve the core issue of bad actors being enabled in the fediverse 🤔
I just sort of picked a server at random when I singed up. Turned out to be a cool place, but I am sure that is true for most instances.
I kinda did the same. Except I went for .ml and folks would call me a tankie for no other reason. Got kinda boring so I switched to another.
How do you filter out an entire instance as a single user? I was just trying to figure that out the other day, but it didn't appear possible.
Not sure how to on desktop but I use Connect and it's in the menu options of posts. Super easy to block individuals, communities, and instances.
