    We do get a lot of greentexts. I mean, greentexts, NCD, and this place are the core communities filling my Local feed. Whitepeopletwitter has been pretty frequent but pretty low engagement recently though.

    I typically opt for All to read .world and .ml debatelording.

      If you put md at the very beggining of a code block, it’ll be formatted as a greentext on certain displays.

    What on earth did sh.itjust.works do?

    I saw that Beehaw defederated from them, and it’s just confusing to me. There’s all kinds of weird nonsense coming from lemmy.world, that defederation makes complete sense to me, but… what did sh.itjust.works do? They seem fine.

    What are the toxic communities? Did I just miss them so far? I really don’t understand.

        Beehaw gives me weird, cult like vibes. You MUST be happy and positive, or you’re OUT. I’m probably entirely wrong, but that’s how they come across to me when I started looking into their rules when I thought about creating an account.

      SJW hosts two communities that probably generate 99% of the issues/hate our instance gets: NonCredibleDefense, which is basically just edge-y military shitposting, and this community which is entirely based around making fun of tankies.

      In NCD some of the takes can be really hot, but I’m usually pretty sure it’s a joke. Sometimes it can go too far, though.

      This com is fine idk. Unless you’re a tankie and you come here to read about yourself getting mocked, I guess.

          I didn’t mean to imply they aren’t allowed- just that I don’t think anyone would really consider this community an issue unless they’re a tankie that’s mad about being mocked.

      Beehaw defederated from everyone and wanted to become their own thing. Didn’t work out well for them. I joined beehaw initially and then got banned after I commented on a post asking how queer people feel about queer movements. I said pride today is largely just advertising and virtue signalling instead of actual activism, that I only ever had my sexuality questioned by queer folk as opposed to religious or straight folk. I got banned. Anyone commenting anything negative about their experiences also got booted.

      SJW is more of a moralist community with some conservatism, at least from my experience. Back when it was popular, everything was driven by community input and voting.

      I’d like to move this community to .world since it’s larger, but there’s no way to transfer communities and I don’t think the Lemmy devs are quite willing to add any such feature

        Please don’t. LW centralization is already quite bad, and prevents Aussie.zone from staying uptodate

      My understanding is that we had open registration and that led to a very small amount of spam posters. Apparently we were a moderation concern.

      I’ve certainly downvoted people in this instance but I can’t remember the last time something particularly egregious occurred

          That might work for a personal account but as a mod or admin that isn’t really an option if users from another instance regularly come to your community to cause trouble.

          But then you can’t flex your might as an instance owner. Its always more fun to torce people to think as you do.
