Turns out finding a good lemmy instance is a huge pain in the ass. I started on lemmy.ml but it was full of tankies so I moved to lemmy.world now they banned piracy so I’m on lemm.ee which gets a lot of crap from tankies still, not as bad as lemmy.ml but it’s really fucking annoying. Like I’m not interested in Russian propaganda or how the soviet union’s genocide was justified actually, please give the user a way to block all tankies and nazies and stop blocking things globally for everyone.
Come to Lemmy.ca, even if you’re not Canadian. It’s been very stable so far, and the admins are nice.
It looks really good but I’m quite hesitant to use a server in North America to discuss piracy. I’m looking into self-hosting at this point, that way I can defederate from who I want and it guaranteed my account won’t be gone because an instance shut down.
I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.
