Just browse the All feed and subscribe to the stuff you like. At this point many instances block .ml and hexbear, so you'll be fine.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's grad and hex that most instances defed from, .ml is more subtle and hosts a number of official Lemmy software support forums, so not many do defed from them. Unfortunately.

[–] SidTheShuckle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

May I ask what those instances are? I’m assuming .ml is Marxist Leninism (mask off) but idk what hexbear is. Are there any instances which are specific to my interests such as anime and music?

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
  • lemmy.ml is one of the original instances, run by Lemmy developers Dessalines and crew. ML for them stands for "Marxism-Leninism", not "Mali." They have a reputation for censoring criticism of Russia and China, but have a number of mainstream-ish communities.
  • hexbear recently lost the Hexbear.net domain name due to a registration screwup. Last I heard they are hosted at chapo.chat. They have a reputation for "dunking" on non-tankies.
  • lemmygrad.ml I know the least about, as I've been defederated for nearly my whole Lemmy lifetime. Allegedly pretty tankies.
  • ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That's about as much as I know.

Update: it seems that hexbear.net is back to hosting hexbear.net.

ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That's about as much as I know.

The problem is definition of NSFW is different for all Lemmy user. One time I posted a Official Art of !nokotan@ani.social and it got reported for not labelling NSFW. That pic doesn't even have any thing like Fanservice or Showing Clothes. Just normal School Uniform.

"If the 65 year old HR worker would take a second glance, it's Not Safe For Work."

So a gay couple kissing is NSFW and a straight one is fine? That’s what a 65 yo HR worker would say in my experience.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That's technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am on lemm.ee which allow user over 16. So, I am safe I guess? It doesn't even matter I am gonna Turn 18 this July.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This particular thread is hosted on lemmy.world and you must be 18+ to access it.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

So, What .world gonna ban me? They don't have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can't make me stop using Lemmy. It's already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.

Hexbear was worse, very pro China/Russia/North Korea, but I think they didn't renew their domain license, so the server went down. Lemmygrad is the same way, I think it's still active. .ml I didn't think is too bad, just block yogthos or whether their name is.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve found it easier to block ML communities. A lot of the people on ML aren’t that bad, but you WILL get banned from the entirety of ML for any criticism of russia china and north korea. The mods really aren’t scared to abuse their power. I’d rather not participate.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hexbear.net is still the domain, it's actually really chill unless you're freelancing for USAID

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not when I tried to talk when them a year ago. So much shilling for authoritarianism.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

any support I've seen has been critical, lib instances often straight up uncritically support US empire and call that anti-authoritarianism

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're not taking about the US, we're talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don't really have much more to talk with you about, you're just wrong.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I don’t really have much more to talk with you about, you’re just wrong.

From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn't stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being 'anti-authoritarian', the sentiment is mutual.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it was this comment of yours:

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.

do you condemn the United States?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I condemn the United States.

You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.

I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So you're bothsidesing the genocide of Ukrainians.

If you’re both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they consider tankie a slur, so that's probably it. I didn't see the mod logs, so thanks for looking it up.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was you calling people crazy as an insult, which is ableism that they ban for.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

☑ genocide apologist

☑ insults other peoples intelligence as an argument

☑ passive aggressive misgendering

least bigoted lemmy user complaining about tankies lmao

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You not familiar with the phrase? The gender neutral 'man', analogous to dude?

And why genocide apologist when I specify said it was wrong and I'm against it? I don't think you're making a good argument.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're against genocide until the people being genocided fight back, then you concern troll about 'terrorism' like the people dropping US bombs aren't terrorists.

you certainly weren't one of the ones calling for an end to aid for Israel, you call them 'tankies'

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies, not people demonstrating against US Israel aid. I don't know how you got that opinion.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sure you call everyone you don't like tankies lmao

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies.
