Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?

Edit: Thanks to @example@reddthat.com here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.

Is divide by zero becoming the most based instance? How did a single bro make best lemmy?!?

    That's the most based thing I've heard all year--where can I learn more about this decentralization endeavor?

    That's it--I'm making an account now. This comment sealed the deal

    I'd say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I've seen. I personally don't go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I'm being honest with myself.

    Wait... dbzer0 is "divide by zero"?

    I've been reading it as "dibzer nought"

    Lately I've been seeing a lot of comments coming from that instance that are indistinguishable from the ones I see from .ml.

    The admin db0 does have a distrust in democracy

    Clarification: Representative/Capitalist democracy. Not all types of democracy.

    While this seems better than a lot of others, these types of systems are very easily manipulated by mass media, so functioning inside capitalism is already a massive problem. In any case it's difficult to judge the efficacy, only with one rich protected nation as an example. The biggest thing is that labour is pacified a lot by a high standard of living, which is supported by the imperialism of the other nations supporting them.
