We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian “communists” who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the “gold standard”), but here they’re mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
It’s a site by and for Communists and a safe space for queer users, it isn’t that complicated. I’d also recommend not calling it an insane asylum, as @OpheliaAzure@lemmy.blahaj.zone said it has one of the biggest trans userbases on Lemmy and that’s frequently used as a transphobic insult, not to mention the ableism.
Fair enough, but I think you should just take care with that. Do a bit more research before jumping to insults that can be damaging to people’s gender identity.
In the insane asylum we didn’t care about genders, we were all shacked up together regardless of identity or sex at birth, no doors were allowed on rooms or showers or anything, so I’m not sure where I’d be insulting genders with that statement.
Referring to trans people as “insane” for being trans is transphobic, and a bit ableist. I’m not talking about your personal experience, but your presumably unintentional transphobia.
I was referring to the posts, if you read my original comment I said nothing about trans or gender identity whatsoever. Hexbear when I signed up did not advertise itself as “trans only” or “trans centric” or anything gender related, so I was not aware. Please help me understand where you are getting those ideas. If anything it seems like if I consider a community similar to my behavioral health clinic experiences to be “transphobia” then you are insulting them as well. Again, we never discussed gender identity in the clinics.
I’ve been in an insane asylum before, we didn’t have gender identity as part of the program there… everyone was shacked up together regardless of gender or identity, no doors allowed on any rooms or showers or anything. No contact with the outside world, no internet, no TV, no movies, no music, no books, nothing allowed. I was just noticing similar behavior to all of us at the asylum, that is all, it had nothing to do with gender or trans people whatsoever as we never talked about any of that in the asylum either. But okay, friend, I hope you have a great day.
Left Reddit as soon as Boost stopped working
Same. My boost app finally stopped working so I had to switch over. Seems basically the same here just less comments
omg samee 😭
I replaced boost for reddit with boost for lemmy
There are dozens of us!
Same. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy. Both awesome. Sync is my main, on the free plan.
I have Sync for reddit and sync for Lemmy on my phone, it’s confusing as hell but I can’t complain lol
Welcome! We’ve got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.

Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided against each other!
I signed up for hexbear out of morbid curiosity, that place feels like an insane asylum.
I was banned there as well, although maybe the ban is gone with the domain drama. It’s their instance, they should run it how they want.

I’ve been forced to stay at an insane asylum, I was only going based off my prior experiences is all, had no idea about the trans thing.

calling an instance with a large amount of trans people an “insane asylum” is such a telling thing. Go back to reddit you abelist transphobe
Yeah because there’s absolutely no other reason that place would give off that impression, nosiree

Boost can still work, though - ReVanced is a great project
Let’s just leave it 😅 I’m happy pretending Boost doesn’t work so that I have no reason to go back to Reddit.
