I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?
I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.


One of the few places on the English language side of the internet where racial abuse against not sufficiently self hating Chinese people isn’t normalised.
I have seen very little xenophobia here on ml, if any. Sometimes I wander off to All, and it comes kind of crashing down how racist and bigoted the other places are. Yeah, this place is really well moderated.
tends to be that way when a lot of us aren’t western
Certain kinds of racism and bigotry are unfortunately highly normalised across much of the English language internet. It was nice to find a safe haven from it even if some still get through the gaps every now and then.
