    The most common one will likely be Hexbear. Nasty little group of trolls they are.

      I dislike any with downvotes off, the worst take can have 20 downvotes 5 upvotes, will make it seem reasonable/common if you only see 5 upvotes

    The one run by someone who banned me from it for making a joke despite never even hearing of his instance, or the 3 people that use it before.

    I blocked yiffit.net pretty early on, so I guess that? I’m not interested in the content they post, so it was easier to block the entire instance rather than each random furry porn community that would pop up onto c/all. No shame or anything against them though, just not my thing.

      Well the instance is getting archived soon, so there won’t be anything from there for much longer.

        Huh. Any idea why?

        I’ve always been proud of the Fediverse that it has a home for the furry community. I think it speaks to the flexibility of the platform and the live and let live vibe of the folks we have attracted.

        Their thing isn’t my thing, but folks seemed nice, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

        They didn’t strike me as particularly vulnerable to community drama.

          Wander the instance owner has just decided to focus on the mastodon instance instead and permanently archive the lemmy instance.

          Not really anything drama related just more up keep.

        Good to know. Is pawb.social the instance to block now then to achieve the same goal?

      I don’t really dislike the furry instances, I just don’t want to see their content. They don’t actively annoy me the way others do.

    Personally, I still haven’t started judging users by the instance that they made their profile on. Unless there’s right wing instances but in that case I’m guessing they’re de-federated from my current experience. I prefer to go by what I’m reading from an individual user or the vibe in a particular community. When you browse instances on the join page, there’s no cliff notes on the turf wars between them. So a lot of users are signing up based on the written description.

      Fortunately you will never know what happens when you walk into the likes of !ChapoTrapHouse@hexbear.net (especially from a post appearing in All) and dare to reply to a comment, because that entire instance has been defederated from yours.

      It kept happening to so many other people, that eventually the admins simply gave up on it. Which is a good thing imho, bc I for one almost left the Threadiverse entirely based on such interactions - I don’t need that noise in my life:-) - and therefore can guess that many others actually did (plus they say exactly that, over on Reddit).

      You can read some of the drama here if you like:-).

        Over time it, its admins, and its users, have shifted more and more right wing. Their admins are very clearly biased against left leaning content while tolerating more right leaning content. If it flies in America they’re generally ok with it.

          That bit where you can’t remove content when it’s blatantly false, their mods “have” to tolerate crap like flat earth? Way overstepping on mod power

    Well obviously lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml but besides these usual suspects I find that the most negative encounters I’ve had with people from blahaj.zone and infosec.pub

      Bizarre, blahaj is a very nice place IMO. They might be quite quick to kick TERFs & other bad people so keep that in mind (like no jokes about racism or anti LGBT permitted, at all).

      I switched over to lemmy.cafe specifically because they are defederated from those three cancer instances. Experience has been pretty great so far! :>

    Everyone is saying lemmygrad, but I think those pedo instances are way worse. I don’t know any of the exact domain names (nor that want to know 🤮) or how many they are, only heard of their existence.

    lemmygrad would rank behind all those pedo instances, followed by hexbear, and a portion of lemmy.ml (non political parts of lemmy.ml is still tolerable)

        According to many instance admins, there are a lot.

        I mean, I was checking the blocklists to see which instances block tankie instances, and I noticed that there are some on the list with the “pedo” name in it. I don’t know what’s on there and I don’t want to look, but I bet its illegal images, or users defending pedophilia.

    Lemmy.world. i serioisly despise their de-federating from inatances.

    Well, any other instance censuring other ones just because (insert your cause here), so not really anything against world in itself.

      Very biased here but I think defederating from an instance filled with genocide apologia makes sense. But that’s the only reason I know of for them defederating from instances

        Its still censorship and I don’t like it…

        But the good of the fediverse is that I can spin my instance and don’t deal with that!

        And I love it.
