Criteria: I'm looking for instances that are defed' with the Big 3 tankies (lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear). I have no interest in trying to persuade my friends to create an acc and set up instance blocks before diving in, or dealing with the feedback when they run into the tankie brigade.

Edit: lemmy.cafe and infosec.pub seem to fit. I also find it really interesting just how many of the replies totally ignored my stated criteria.

Mods of politics @world are blatant fascism propaganda enablers

How so?

Take a skim through !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. News, world news, and politics @world probably makes up like a 3rd of the posts in there.

I don't really see it. A lot of the posts in that community don't even explicitly state what community is being discussed.

Some of the stuff is legitimate, some of the stuff feels more like bitching.

I don't really understand how you can claim LW is the worst considering that on ML you get instance banned for opposing the russian invasion of Ukraine or having a critical attitude towards China.

I didn't claim LW is the worst. As per my post, the worst offenders are hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. .world is not a monolith, and I have nothing major against the admins. I was specifically referring to the 3 news subs on .world as problematic.

To be fair I was replying to a thread that said LW/ML are equal and something about fascism in LW.

I just don't think they are as problematic as you imply. Are there issues? Sure (I be have my own complaints), but generally those communities seem somewhat usable.

I think you may have misread the thread, since I don't see anything in the comments above yours saying that.

Could be :)
