nanashimy thoughts on lemmy so far
I thought the same thing when Voat started as a mirror to Reddit. It was similar for a while but every time a troll or Nazi was ejected from Reddit they migrated to Voat. Eventually I was one of the last liberals there. Is there anyone maintaining order here or will it be the wild west ?
"here" is relative in the Fediverse.
Here? sure, but there will be right-wing Lemmy instances. It's almost a rule of existence at this point.
I don't totally understand the fediverse yet. So an instance is basically just a portion of a website on a certain server, right? And all the instances communicate with each other to create one website?
lelgenioFrom a user's point of view it's just like email, you create your account on one server, you login with any app that supports that standard, you can interact with people from any other server, yet each server has a different owner and has it's own address.
