I'm on ML because it is the dev's instance, that's it. Also, I dislike how .world is run.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

.ca is a bit more sane and not as authoritarian as .world or .ml. I don't mind .world, but their admins are inconsistent, IMO

Neither am I. However, I have seen one or two people on ca that claim it's an instance "for Canadians", but that isn't the majority view.

Canadian news is mild compared to other instances and their admins rock. They just did some good hardware updates and the instance is fairly reliable. 10/10, would recommend. The author of my client (Connect) is also on that instance, and I contribute a bit to that community as well.

I could see some downsides if the occasional post in French would piss you off.

As a Canadian on .ca, I'd say it was made for Canadians, but others are more than welcome. It's kind of like a nice park. Sure, it's ours, but you don't need our permission to come hang out.

And now I kind of want to try out Connect.

It's "for Canadians" in that if you're Canadian and joining Lemmy, lemmy.ca ought to be your default choice, but we welcome anyone that isn't a shitbag

Dude, you can still come over. As a Canadian you have my permission. Yes, glad to see other folks said something good about Lemmy.ca. It is nice. I agree. :)

Yeah, it's a shame that there are only two instances: .ml and .world

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That was the state of things back in '23 when the first migration happened

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah, i was being facetious. I was here. lol

I originally joined World like everyone else but pretty quickly left for Mander just to spread the load.
Almost two years ago now!

Just don't post anything anti China or Russia and you'll be fine.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

I am pretty anti-tankie. I'm even a mod at onehundredninetysix. The censorship of some words is kind of funny though.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Or swearwords, or any word that is partially composed of a swearword. Or talk about people that are pro-China or pro-Russia engaging in any kind of bad behavior in other places that have no relation to ML.

I'm sure the list continues, but I blocked them a while ago.

Lemm.ee we tell you about my instance then... :)
