The reason corporate social media sucks is its monopolistic nature. “Instance wars” are why lemmy is better than reddit, which consists of exactly one instance.
Yeah, right. That totally makes Lemmy better. It's so pleasant to always bicker and threaten to defederate from each other. It's also so unlike Reddit where Subreddits brigade each other and have sub wars. Lemmy is so unique in that... /s

There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:
Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."
After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"

Is there a federation map somewhere so you can see what instances are federated with each other and which are not?
Yes.
https://federation-checker.vercel.app/
This link lets you type in an Instance name and it will tell you what other Instances allow it and which ones block it.

It kinda pisses me off tbh. It's like that friend that has to keep telling you how boring the movie is when you're just trying to sit and watch it. Like, stfu and go away then, stop trying to be a crab on the bucket for the rest of us.

I am just a chill lemm.ee guy
I've yet to see any open lemm.ee prejudice anywhere. AFAIK it's the largest completely inoffensive instance and that's exactly what I was looking for.

Anyone unironically surprised by this? Lmao
Basically "Someone said something I disagree with. Instead of dealing with it or ignoring this user, I want the whole instance to be nuked!".

dbzero on top. even after beefing with and being banned from another instance the admins let us stay federated.
.ml banning the dbzero admin instead of defederating will never not be funny.
"The users are fine, it's just the admin"

From what I’ve seen, a lot of the toxicity is trickling down from the powermods. Same issue migrated from Reddit.
Mods will always be a problem.
I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

Out of the loop, what’s going on?
Regular .world vs .ml shenanigans
I’ll be pretty annoyed if world and ml break up. I just want to scroll and they’re most of the content.
If everyone on .world just blocked a handful of people, the issue would disappear. It's mostly a small number of shitheads using a common "enemy" for attention and power.

I am so out of the loop on this. People care about what instance they are on?
Yes! It's a sad, sad world. It mostly has to do with people's political opinions on moderators, i.e. ".ml are tankies" and ".world are right-wing normie fascists" or something like that. I have never — literally never — witnessed a .ml mod doing something I thought was bad. I have also seen only one tankie since I joined .ml. I have witnessed some kind of conflict between .world and .ml everytime single time I open Lemmy though. Kind of depressing. I wish we could make less of a deal of an issue that, all things considered, seems pretty small. Ah well, that aside, Lemmy is still great, it will just take time to mature — like all social platforms in their beginnings!

Who could have guessed that trying to bring together people with opposing views would generate so much attrition...
