Fediverse

I'm not sure that "got yelled at" is a great metric. On L.W., it probably depends on the community a bit but it's not likely they're getting yelled at by a mod, or having their post/comment deleted, right? No one's going to ban their account there.

In terms of users -- except for the bad places -- everywhere is "here." You can block people that are being exceptionally dickish too.

And, real talk, you can say "it's a beautiful day today" and there'll be two dildos that downvote you and maybe someone that's like "not everywhere!!!" Don't let it get ya down.

Lemmy world is probably the most centerist instance that hasn’t been defederated. Lemm.ee are sh.it.just.works are probably good replacements if she thinks it is just to far left wing but it’s probably that she is seeing .ml or one of the other various socialist instances.

She will need to utilize her block list to block tankie users and communities if she doesn’t want to see them. A lot of entrenched users are here because they realized that mainstream platforms were enshittified a lot earlier because they of their anti capitalist views

You'd have to show who specifically was yelling. You see everyone from all instances they're federated with. They might not have even been from Lemmy.world.

Edit: Case in point, I'm from programming.dev

i think the content and the 'home base instance' can be completely separate. its all about what they would choose to subscribe to.

theoretically you could be on lemmy.world and not subscribe to or access any of its local content. conversely, an 'onramp' instance might not have much of any local content but have access to hundreds of remote instances. (mine for example)

it can be kind of confusing for new users.

I've found that for those moving from reddit, sh.itjust.works seems to be pretty accessible

Lemmy world left???? Lol they’re milquetoast liberals and capitalism is garbage. Your friend needs to grow up.

I don't know if its what you are looking for but futurology.today is the fediverse sibling (same Mods) as r/futurology on Reddit.

(Disclaimer I'm a Mod on it & the subreddit)

Might take a look at the instance I’m on. Lemmy.sdf.org. It’s pretty chill, and SDF has been doing the social media thing since the 80’s without much issue. Started as a dial up BBS devoted to anime back in the day. Leans anime, music/art generally and computers. Supported via donations.

I mean, it's probably best to stay out of political subs at that point. Reddit's pretty far left of... mainstream US media, and yeah lemmy is fairly left of reddit.

But to be honest, just politics in social media will always be arguing. You aren't likely to find a political group that perfectly lines up with exactly where you are.

Not really, it's taken me quite a while to curtail the content I see to just stuff I actually want to see. Keyword filters are helpful tho not perfect since a lot of people will self censor and thus bypass the keyword filters.

I find mbin at https://fedia.io/ to be just... everything...

Beehaw probably
