The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?

+1 for Hexbear, check it out if .world is too liberal for you. This place really feels like reddit, but somehow even more Dem apologist
+1 Hexbear if you like increasingly abstracted inside jokes about owls and beans

Booo tankie bullshit
You have a🔻in your username. That makes you a “tankie” to a huge portion of the people who hate communists, too. We’re both going to get sent to the same camps.
dafuq? The red triangle is part of my lore, it’s for the book that I haven’t written
Wait, you don’t support Hamas?
Fuck all genocidal regiems. Does that need to be said explicitly?
Lol. These are the people calling you tankies
Since when was the Palestinian resistance to genocide genocidal themselves? What kind of hasbara is this?
me when I make shit up
Honestly I don’t think this person is saying Hamas is genocidal. I think he’s very confused and is really insistent that tankies love genocide, so he was trying to like, pre-move me. But as far as I can tell the implied genocidal regime he’s opposed to is China, not Hamas. Obviously that opens a whole other can of worms but he won’t reply to my last comment.
He was absolutely calling Hamas genocidal
“Fuck all genocidal regiems. Does that need to be said explicitly?” as a reply to “Wait, you don’t support Hamas?” definitely sounded like calling Hamas genocidal, as did doubling down by putting “all” in bold after you tried to get him to agree Hamas was cool. China only came up later in the thread, as far as I can tell.
But if he doesn’t think that, he can easily clarify.
Well yeah it does, you’re on lemmy.world which sometimes has a lot of Zionist apologia. In most online political spaces, the🔻symbol is a reference to videos from Hamas where they would overlay a similar red triangle over an Israeli soldier/tank/military target before it gets hit.
I guess it’s still germane to my point, though. If you do think Hamas is cool because you hate the genocidal regime of Israel, that makes you a “tankie” or at least comparable to one in the eyes of most anticommunists. Functionally, the people who actually will fight “tankies” (as in communists) area also the people who will put you in a camp for being anti-zionist or having other left wing positions.
you’re reading too far into it my dude.
Fuck ALL genocidal regiems.
I use the red triangle specifically for my own fictional lore. Fuck everyone else ruining my day.
That’s ok, forget the red triangle. That’s fine. I’m saying that you’re loudly voicing your opposition to “tankies” but if you despise all genocidal regimes you are a tankie yourself.
