thank you for your take! being here on beehaw (and being relatively new to lemmy in general), i have not had a ton of interactions with either of these instances. This came up for me because there are well-populated communities in those spaces that i want to subscribe to. That said, if World is that rife with fascists, then it is obviously not worth the gain in communities.
I have an account on world, and I've not come across any fascist stuff. Then again, I've blocked several communities like politics, where such people may tend to congregate.
Personally, I treat Beehaw as a standalone community. I do not really see the point of Beehaw federating with others, when the rules, and feel of the community, is so different.
I prefer using a Beehaw account for Beehaw, even gave it a yellow colored theme so it's clear that I'm browsing Beehaw, and know that it's "safe" browsing Local/New.
I appreciate your take! For me, I don't really want to make multiple accounts for Lemmy, even if that seems to be a common way to use it. I like the size of beehaw - it keeps me away from the "endless feed" nature of Reddit.
I did the same but I only browse "local" on it since I can access the rest of the fediverse from my other account and I don't want to accidentally double dip.
But it's not.
