I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?

    I signed up for the developer’s instance because fuck reddit, and I do dev work.

    Server choice had nothing to do with any political shit. I barely knew what federation was at the time. Lemmy immediately proved there are as many bandwagoning idiots as reddit here.

    I have nothing to say about world though, I don’t use the platform that much.

      I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn’t stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me

        I’m not hopping instances, I will just leave. Social media is worth very little to me. Abandoning it would mean nothing to me.

        The fediverse isn’t going to be one all-encompassing thing like reddit. As time goes on, there will be different “sections” of the fediverse to accommodate people with different interests.

        Lemmy.world, being run by pussies, thinks that because they’re the largest instance right now that they get to dictate the direction the fediverse goes in. As more people wake up to their censorship, more instances will sprout up to resist it.

        It’s great that nobody is beholden to the decisions of either instance’s admins. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.
