Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.

I only found this after going down a rabbit hole of looking into one of their admins after seeing one of their admins unjustly label us as a "pedo instance." I'm not going to append a screenshot of that because he talks shit about one of our users who go here in that same assburgers fueled diatribe.
Call this drama seeking, but I honestly don't care. The level of disrespect I've had leveled at me and our instance by the wider Lemmy community has my patience wearing thin.
Lemmy was a fun experiment, but window lickers who have narcissistic complexities have got to ruin it, unfortunately. I really should've backed kbin since it seems like the wider fediverse (AKA the fun side) is more accessible compared to, "We've got to act like super serious corporations, but without any professionalism" Lemmyverse.
Most instances on Lemmy are much, much worse than Reddit. The few ones like this one that have some free speech going on just get blocked and ridiculed. At least from reddit I can understand from a business pov that they removed a lot of subreddits. For a lot of Lemmy instances money isnt even the driving factor but just closed minded individuals and censorship.
It makes me sad since i loved to think that lemmy could be a smaller more compact community alternative to reddit but honestly its really not.

functionally, it is. we're having this convo across two different servers already. it's just that the early adopters are kinda assholes to people like us. it appears that the fediverse will end up divided into groups along ideological battle lines, and that unless you're a single user instance self-admin you'll want 2 or 3 accounts to get the full picture. on the other hand, it means we have less immediate visibility to haters and presumptivly therefore less harassment than someplace like twitter, where people who hate each other share one big box (tell me again why we ever thought that was a good idea?)
in other words, "fuck the haters I'ma go to an instance that respects me" is the correct response and we'll continue on without their help
