unpopular hexbear because seeing both sides of the propaganda broadens my critical thinking more than echo chambers, yes-men, and logical fallacies being thrown my way instead of supporting data

I respect the devotion to always collecting information from both sides, but if you think hexbear isn’t 100% echo chamber and logical fallacies, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

kakes ,

The solution to being fed propaganda isn’t to seek out more propaganda.

Even a pencil can be used as a weapon if you’re clever. ;) but I try to refrain from telling other people how to live their lives.

lemm.ee, my own instance got executed by Oracle Cloud haha

thespezfucker OP ,

what happened?

binboupan ,

They just deleted my whole account and didnt tell me about it at all. Just oracle things I guess.

mexicancartel ,

Dbzer0 yeah. It have served well without any downtime for me. Also piracy friendly. Startrek.website people seems chill

As a Brit I decided to use Feddit UK and I’ve no complaints whatsoever.

anothermember ,

I would be there but I was only put off by the fact that they’ve got an inactive admin which is usually a security flaw.

ianovic69 ,
@ianovic69@feddit.uk avatar

I believe that was temporary and is now rectified and prevention is in place.

anothermember ,

He still holds admin powers, which people might easily dismiss but I’ve had experience in past times with rogue former admins causing serious problems - you never leave inactive users with admin powers no matter how trustworthy they seem.

ianovic69 ,
@ianovic69@feddit.uk avatar

I think he’s active again? But there’s other admins as well. Does that not negate the issue?

(Genuine question, I’m clueless about this stuff.)

anothermember ,

He came back just to make other people admins and then disappeared again, which also raises questions over the ownership of the instance. It’s best security practice to have users with minimal necessary powers so if someone’s not admining they shouldn’t have admin powers since that increases the attack surface. Also the way the contingency plans were aborted the second he lifted a finger with no explanation or apology sort of rubbed me up the wrong way.

@ianovic69@feddit.uk avatar

I’ve got some alts I don’t use but now I’m thinking about making something proper I can switch to. lem.ee perhaps?

anothermember ,

I’m having a bit of a moan, I wouldn’t want anyone to make a decision like that purely on my account, you should make your own decision. Maybe feddit.uk will turn out fine, I hope it does, I’m just explaining why I don’t use it. lemmy.zip seems to be a responsibly run instance with similar federation policies to feddit.uk

ianovic69 ,
@ianovic69@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah that’s fair. I think it’s worth having another option if I need it, but I would rather stay at feddit.uk if I can.

Thanks for the details, good things to know.

anothermember ,

Beehaw is a quieter experience than most because it has narrower federation, but you do tend to get a better signal to noise ratio since you miss the spammier instances - I like it.

Beehaw also doesn’t federate downvotes which I think is an improvement.

inverted_deflector ,

Yeah and in addition to that the overall “be(e) nice” rule means that people are generally just a lot more pleasant to be around and less abrasive than what I see in some of the other larger instances.

Only issue is I recently opened another account because theyre leaving lemmy eventually and currently my posts dont federate and all my subscriptions are pending.

anothermember ,

Nothing’s concrete yet. I have accounts on several instances for their various advantages, but Beehaw is what I’ve settled on as my main “default” for now. The Subscribe Pending is a bug, I don’t think it affects your posts federating so they’re separate issues if that’s the case.

deegeese ,

Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.

anothermember ,

Posting from a Beehaw account I think does have a psychological effect on me that causes me to naturally tone things down a bit. I think it’s been good for me.

gnuplusmatt ,

startrek.website definitely punches above its weight, was my first account

But this alt on reddthat.com I use more because it has down voting disabled and it keeps me more zen

thespezfucker OP ,

pretty cool that there’s whole instances about stuff like Star Trek, really cool!

Was waiting for an instance admin lol

cheese_greater ,

I dunno why but everytime I see that, I misread it as SoPopular ;)

MentalEdge ,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

He’s right. No bias, I swear.

lil ,
@lil@lemy.lol avatar

sopuli.xyz was my first instance because it was the biggest one that didn’t require registration approval, but after Lemmy became popular I switched to lemmy.world because sopuli was defederated from lemmygrad.ml

willya ,
@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

They’re defederated from mine too. Really odd.

I like .world abit, but I’m a touch biased 🤣

TadeuszBonawentura ,

mander.xyz is my favorite. Love and subscribed to the most of the communities it have.

joyjoy ,

For some weird reason, I can’t access that instance from work. Probably DNS related.

averyminya ,

A lot of “weird” TLDs are just automatically blocked for security.

Like, realistically what site would your business/work utilize utilitytoolsales(.)xyz? Chances seem higher that would be a bogus site to harvest information.

Unfortunately fun social networks get affected lol

Sal ,
@Sal@mander.xyz avatar

Yeah, I found out only after choosing that domain name… This TLD also gets penalized by the automatic e-mail spam detectors (like SpamAssassin). I wouldn’t pick the “.xyz” TLD if I were picking today 😅

Omg yes they are really bringing the best science communities.

hexbear and lemmygrad are fantastic. makes me feel very welcome and safe as a queer person (i am bisexual) that the admins will always crack down on queerphobia in any form. very cool for our trans comrades as well! lemmy.ml is a close third place, many cool ppl on there especially comrade dessalines.

kate ,

I like mine because it is mine :)

ohlaph ,

Do you just host it for yourself and no other users are on it?

kate ,

Me and a few friends

DeathWearsANecktie ,

Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.

I don’t care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it’s Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
