I'm looking for a new home after the asinine decision to ban !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

It's clear lemmy.world has been infested by malicious actors with an agenda. I want to get as far away from this as possible, but still have access to most of the fediverse.

Is there a list of general Lemmy servers? I would like a server that isn't so gung-ho about censorship and instead trusts users to be their own censors.

Start your own server?

I've honestly thought about it, but I'd prefer to join an instance that connects to as much of the fediverse as possible.

It's sad we have to do this roundabout "join instance C because instances A and B block each other," but that's what corporate cuckery gets us.

I have no respect or trust for the lemmy.world admins after this.

LW didn't block DB0 entirely, just those two specific communities. Otherwise, SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com wouldn't have been able to reply to you (nor you reply to them)

I’ve been pretty happy with .zip, afaik they’ve only defederated from the really vile stuff

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

I am also happy with .zip, so far I didn't even realize they had defederated from anything.

Lemmyverse is a nice place to find instances/communities:

I'm on lemmy.today. Their policy is to try to avoid defederation with anyone, let the users decide what to block on a per-account basis, so if that's what you want, might be what you're looking for.

They're US West Coast.

Keep in mind that there's a lot of stuff out there on the Threadiverse, and if you want an unfiltered view of things, they may show up in your "All" feed.

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer and https://kbin.fediverse.observer can recommend instances geographically near you.

Kbin instances have their rules at /terms, like:

https://kbin.social/terms

Lemmy instances have their rules in the sidebar. You can also look at the list of instances that they've federated/defederated with at /instances, like http://lemmy.world/instances ; that can give you an idea of what instances they're okay with too.
