Becoming tribal about which instance someone registered to is pretty hilarious.

"Rascists are irrational and terrible bigots, and also Lemmy.world people are inhuman scum who should be wiped out." - They think without the barest hint of self awareness or irony.

People have pretty valid issues with the way the team runs Lemmy.world. It's nothing against the users though. They were just lazy or whatever and just chose the largest instance, giving the staff there power, causing them to behave as if they run the fediverse. It's honestly an issue that people don't spread out more. If you're a Lemmy.world user and reading this, you should consider migrating. It isn't that hard and keeps Lemmy from becoming Reddit 2.0 by ensuring no instance has too much control.

Go to Settings, Export

Pick a new server, make the account, go to Settings, Import

For what server, look down the list of posts/comments in anything in here and start clicking the fediverse icon to swap to their instance and see how it is.

Or check the list https://join-lemmy.org/instances

I find it cute as long as people are just fooling around, joking about why THEIR same instance is the best. I can play that!

But when people are seriously like "all people from .ml/.world/whatever are scum", this is where it gets weird.
