Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it.

That made me curious of how you decided to join?

I firstly join to lemmy.fmhy.ml thanks to Spez and a Reddit post from FMHY subreddit, then the tragedy occurred, then I joined to lemmy.world which is/was my main one because I pictured it like a good home, then lemmy.fmhy.net revived and I am with them too, but seems like they are in a bit of trouble with the server, finally now I am in lemm.ee, but only because I just wanted another backup, not because I searched for it especially (also it was mentioned in a comment about smaller instances and one user from here throw a joke to not join here because it sucks so that way the server would be more stable, so yeah, I joined).

To be clear I am not in search for yet another instance (that sounds like a good instance name to be fair), I just want to know how the deciding process is for you, is it just random? Is it because of personal tastes?

I couldn’t care less about NSFW stuff, I don’t search for it specifically, but my day won’t be ruined if I see a tit.

I like gaming, tech, Linux, SBC gaming, emulation, macOS, Android stuff etc (yeah how original) should I look for an instance dedicated to that if I ever want to join yet another one? Because I see topics like this in almost any instance.

I read you lemmings!

EDIT: BTW the migration process has been easier for me thanks to LASIM, so I wouldn’t be scared if I ever want/have to migrate again.

    So? I call out hexbear for being shitty in its own way too.

    Just because one site is clearly a Russian psy-op doesn’t mean the people who fell for the psy-op are in the same group.

    Its funny you think there is some nuance im missing, but as is typical for the group in here triggered by my callout, you can’t actually state the problem.

    You have to shit on some theoretical point that nobody made.

      His point is that Hexbear and Lemmygrad have the same stance on Ukraine:

      NATO caused it by arming the nazis during the civil war and making US aid contingent on including the far right in gov’t (instead of contingent on purging the nazis from the gov’t and army), and then by continuing to arm them while they violated Minsk II and did literal pogroms. Western Ukrainian nazis were shelling eastern Ukraine right until the day of the invasion.

      Every weapon we send to Ukraine is a bad day for someone, mostly civilians. Anything except ending western participation in the war as quickly as possible is sacrificing more blood of the workers for the profits of the bourgeoisie.

        So let’s just take all of this as a given.

        How does this justify the genocide Russia is enacting on the people of Ukraine?

        And again, I said this before in 2 separate comments but I’ll say it here as well.

        It’s one thing to be an individual who has read and internalized Russian psyop content, it is entirely different to be a bad faith propoganda agent organized by the state.

        The people I’ve engaged from hexbear are typically dipshit shitposters at worse, lemmygrad is clearly different.

        If you spent any time checking out the messaging on 4chan and r/the_donald or any of the other Russian psyop sites, you pick up on some habits.

        The most obvious example in the current conversation is lemmygrad hosting a sub called Ukraine war news that has 0 news on active events in Ukraine. Every post is meant to shape your thoughts using bad faith information presentation.

        You wrote out your legitimate thoughts and included all details you find viable to discuss. These users know they are participating in bad faith and do so intentionally.

        Its why some people get a respectfully written response from me while others are called coping dipshits.

          How does this justify the genocide Russia is enacting on the people of Ukraine?

          The US is not preventing a genocide, it is facilitating one. The whole succession thing was triggered by the Ukrainian state banning the Russian language and Azov & co doing wide-spread organized violence against Russian minorities, backed by the state, in Eastern Ukraine.

          all that other shit you wrote

          get over yourself.

          The community became more general about NATO activities in general because we changed the display name to “Death to NATO” which you would know if you visited [email protected].

          With all due respect, some of your comments are giving off the vibe that you would have accused anyone who wanted to stop the Vietnam War as being Russian propagandists.

          the genocide Russia is enacting on the people of Ukraine

          Whatever you might think of the war, Russia is not committing genocide unless you hold invasion of an inhabited territory as being synonymous with genocide due to civilian casualties. Even if you think the invasion was completely in the wrong and Russia has an inconceivable amount of blood on its hands for everyone who has died, that still would not make it a genocide. The only people who push that kind of story are absolute rubes and people trying to connect it to the myth of the holodomor

        You could just read the older comments where I discussed hexbear?

        Cope dumbass.

        It takes all of 10 minutes to open up lemmygrad, see disinformation campaigns such as titling a sub Ukraine war news then trying to fill it with news on NATO being the cause of the war.

            What? Lol you have a whole headcannon to lean on as a coping mechanism

            I guess if you’re just going to make shit up there is no point in further engagement

                    This is nothing like what you were crying about lol.

                    I did, you posted in their games comm, made that dumbass response in this thread, started getting shit on, then you started shitting on hexbear, pretty clear timeline of events for me

                    Not a single thing you sourced is a games com, and yes I did describe hexbear in earlier comments that I told you to check.

                    Good job finding the thing I told you to find but shit job finding the thing you claimed existed.

                    Cope harder dipshit.
