So I decided to go to sopuli.xyz. Viewing their all/hot is not much different than what I have now. However Sopuli is closer to what I expected .ml to be. There are some instances with zero defederations (completely unsensored), but I’m happy not seeing porn, discrimination, or ads in their feed. @Oka@sopuli.xyz

I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don’t care for it. I didn’t understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

I will try a different instance and report back.

I hear you. When I first joined .ml, they were pressing for people NOT to join it. To create their own instances so that .ml didn’t become a central entity, and get overwhelmed with users. The latter did occur during the reddit exodus.

I also agree that they can curate and manipulate the instance to their ideals, which will limit casual users and their reach.

I don’t feel like I’m being secluded, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I have seen hate for .ml users and hexbear users, and I really don’t get it. The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in. That’s like saying all US citizens are awful because they live there.

The views of .ml mods have not affected me. I don’t really check my subscription feed, only /all or /top->day, therefor im still exposed to all those other communities.

The only instances that I’ve noticed are missing are porn related, and as an asexual, I don’t have an interest in them. If I did, I could just visit a different site, like pornhub or w/e

Not all .ml users are tankies, or communist, or foss enthusiasts. I’m just a guy who likes memes and tech

• Reincarnated: Living Life in Another World
• Reincarnated as a Slime
• Re:Zero (IIRC)

Yeah, I agree the genre has come down to a basic recipe.

There are some exceptions:

• Sword Art Online, technically an issekai, but only because they are trapped in the other world.
• The Devil is a Part-Timer, reverse issekai where something foreign and god-like comes to the real world and becomes mortal

Upvotes and downvotes, but also add the YouTube lightsaber which shows the ratio?

I hope the don’t like using the scroll wheel on documents.

In a way, NFTs were supposed to solve this.

Uh, isn’t that Cyberrunners?

This stick I use so that my window doesn’t slam closed

I’m unfamiliar with all of these

I only realized there was an episode 0 after episode 5, which I think is the perfect place to watch it. However, Hulu is missing subtitles for episode 0, so I can’t watch it.

I don’t really visit FOSS communities, however I have given my fair share of bug reports and feedback. (I’m a game programmer)

Most communities welcome the feedback. I know I can be blunt, or even out of line while reporting sometimes. I try to be the “asshole” before another person comes along without my experience who actually is an asshole and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s also a minor test to see how they respond to rough feedback. I don’t think anyone has mishandled it so far. They are always polite and respectful to customers, and I usually relax after the first encounter.

I try to make it clear that the feedback I give has importance (when i know what im talking about), or if its minor, i tell them its not a real issue, not worth fixing, etc. If they reject it, it stops there. More often than not, they are understanding.

I don’t recall any blatant arrogance in any responses so far.
