I’ve heard people talking about e.g. not subscribing to lemmy.world communities (because they are the largest instance), and others like Lemmygrad seems to be defederated by quite many instances. But what about lemmy.ml? Should that instance and those communities also be avoided? The “issue” is that many large communities seem to be based on that instance. Like [email protected] and [email protected]
I avoid it because I don’t like authoritarians and genocide denial. But you do you.
I personally refuse to participate in an instance that will ban me from FOSS communities because I mentioned Tiannmen square on their news community.
