There are instances that federate together as a single sort of entity.
So, are there other entities? Meaning, is there a group of Lemmy instances somewhere outside of the existing ones we see here?
And, how do I get there, and which one don’t have people from the USA?
Edit, image example
Check out this graph made by /u/Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz. It shows defederations between major Threadiverse instances. I don’t think any instance groups are completely isolated, but some like Lemmygrad and Hexbear have been defederated by over half of the major instances.
Yeah, the problem is that all of the domain names on that image… can suck a dick. (Pardon my Murrkkkan)
Basically, everyone (with power) on here has made it very clear they don’t want me, or my views that don’t agree with USA, Russia, or China.
So… I want a place that just doesn’t have 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳. Everyone else is fine. I don’t want .world people (for example), interacting with me on any level whatsoever.
I don’t think that that’s a thing on Lemmy. You probably have a better chance of finding old-school forums where that applies.
you’re better off not using lemmy at all then. I never really got the discrimination for the different instances anyway, it’s true that certain people tend to hang out on certain instances, but discounting everything just because of the link they chose when creating an account is dumb imo.
The problem isn’t the instances themselves. It’s the users. Most of them have accounts on multiple instances anyway.
I’m really not trying to be argumentative but I just think I need to find other friends—but I don’t plan to be homeless during the transition.
Lemmy is fine. The code is fine. But maybe you’re right.
But one this is for sure, I gotta go (from here).
as i see it, the point of lemmy and mastodon is the federation, so the infrastructure can be decentralized but the content on there isn’t. like other guy said, probably better to search for isolated forums for topics that you like. upside is that stalkers will have a way harder time tracking all of your online activity.
Yeah. I just want another federation.
And I’m not worried about stalkers on Lemmy. Admins and mods make it very impossible to stalk me since I have to get a new account every week lol. Frankly, if a person has an account over 6 months, I assume they are just part of the problem 🤪
I know admins can power trip, but i don’t believe that just so happens to be the case for every single instance you sign up for just because your political viewpoints are different, unless you’re incredibly confrontational about them or you’re a literal nazi fascist; which no one here likes, twitter would be a better place then.
For obvious reasons i don’t have access to comments on your previous accounts, but from what you said i would try re-evaluating whether it really is true that everyone else is the problem, and you’re 100% blameless.
There arent many that fully isolate itself and defederate with all other servers. Beehaw was of the earlier ones that approached the federation with strict moderation walls.
No I want the opposite of beehaw, they aren’t nice at all despite their slogan.
How do you mean “the ones we see here”?
You can also poke around fedidb: https://fedidb.com/servers?limit=20I don’t think that exists, but you might be interested in what Bonfire calls “archipelago mode”. It’s where instead of open federation being the default, an instance deliberately federates with selected other instances, which can result in a small group of instances cut off from the rest.
That runs the risk of being an echo chamber.
I’m fine with opposing views, I just want those to be from people outside the 3 major countries.
