I’ve seen a bunch of discussions around merging and migrating and who’s gonna take on users here and there and I’ve come to the realization that it really doesn’t matter in the end, does it? All the instances that are connected that share similar communities (or even communities of the same name and goal) just become one big thing.
Instances, so far as I have found messing with this the last day and a half, only really seem to differ in UI. As a general user, anyway, I don’t see anyone boasting instance specific features that another instance does not have (though I’m sure that can change in time given the open source nature of the platform).
I’m just rolling everything up into one big pile to connect with and make more people lightly blow air out of their nose while they dick around at work. The more instances and communities, the merrier I am. 😋
Well, lemmy.ml has the extra feature of censoring posts that don’t align with the owners political agenda.
There are differences in instances but really, not a whole lot. Mainly just “instances to avoid” and “everything else”.
And what political agenda do the owners of Lemmy.ml have?
He’s a communist, which is fine, though they were censoring posts and comments that were anti-communist/anti-China. Believe in what you want to, but censorship is generally just bad.
I agree that censorship is bad… Except when it comes to spreading hate. The only thing we should not tolerate, is intolerance. That doesn’t sound like what is being censored tho, so I’ll probably not be joining Lemmy.ml.
