It's unfortunate. I got yelled at for saying fascists and Nazis should be deplatformed. Someone literally tried to "whatabout if we did that to LGBT people" me. I'm trying different instances in good faith, but the ones that hold that kind of logic aren't going to last long.
Well, see, nazis hate Jews (and people of color, and leftists, and…), and LGBT people, uh, well, you see, they uh… anyway you can’t block one and not block the other. See what I mean?
/s. Also, fuck off nazi punks.
I'm just going to start replying with Dead Kennedys lyrics to people that try that shit lol
Ah gotta love that argument
"We can't deplatform Nazis, we need to be a tolerant group."
"They literally want us dead and are doing their best to make our existence illegal, tolerating that is not an option."
Tolerance is a peace treaty, and the more people who understand that the better.
Maybe look at figuring out how to host your own instance? I've got mine running on a 2 thread, 1gb ram server that'll cost me less than 10 usd a month. So far it actually seems to run rather smoothly.
Then you get to choose who you federate with.
Cool idea! Might look into that.
Did you use an Ansible role or docker? Is maintaining a manual federation list easy or a pain?
Also on a VPS with same specs. Used docker to set it up. The instructions feel like they are not fully fleshed out, especially as someone who never used docker, but it was enough to get it up and running.
Manually adding communities is a little bit tedious. Some overloaded instances make for difficulties. For the last few days it is impossible to subscribe to lemmy.world communities and even the ones I've previously subscribed to aren't federating properly to my local instances. Also I'm unable to subscribe to any kbin magazine, but I don't know if that is a whitelist or ratelimit issue on kbin.social side.
Thanks -- I'll try to deploy to a Proxmox container or an ARM64 cloud instance via Ansible. No need for Docker.
I did that, have a small instance and now with instances starting to not get along with eachother, it's actually a nice bonus to be able to just add any community from any server.
Which instance was that?
