Choosing which instance of a community to join (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Maybe something that is not understood by new lemmings, at least me, is that when we join communities in other instances we may find ourselves blocked from accessing them (without creating another account) in the future.

A reasonable PSA seems to be to keep in mind the 'philosophy' of other instances before joining general interest communities such as News, Technology, Gaming, etc...

As posted by @[email protected] at https://lemmy.ml/post/1243402 , there are some instances that seem to have an easy trigger when blocking others:

note most of the instances blocked by lemmy.dbzer0.com are mastodon servers. Simply copied part of the block list from hachyderm.io as I'm closely coordinating with them

I was wondering about that! It seemed weird for an anarchist pirate instance to have a long block list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not weird at all. Anarchism doesn't mean "no rules"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, that's not what I meant. Anarchism is, as far as I know, largely a "live and let live" kinda thing. I wouldn't expect an anarchist to go and block a bunch of instances for no real reason, you know?

anarchists are explicitly anti-opporession. We will absolutely block instances which create an oppressive environment by promoting things like nazis, terfs and red fash
