Looking into this #lemmy thing and I'm not thrilled at the amount of servers on join-lemmy.org that explicitly allow piracy and some of the more questionable types of pornography.
Not getting good vibes from it as a whole - seems like it maybe grew a bit from what got banned from #reddit over the years?
Mastodon has, by instances de-federating offending instances, built a tolerable environment. I can watch the global feed and not require a barf bag.
Lemmy is experiencing a ton of growth that's going to shine a huge light on it. I predict drama and ultimately some sort of consensus set of instances that agree not to connect to the weird. If that ends up being called #Lemmy or #Beehaw or #kbin, I don't know.
For what it's worth I joined the sdf instance because I trust SDF implicitly.

The drama has already started and I've experienced parts of it.
#FactResistance seems to be at least a part of the reason for the drama getting louder.
