It’s nice to be somewhere that isn’t full of bots and doesn’t coddle nazis

Depends on instance...

My last one wouldn't defederate from a shitshow instance full of transphobia, threats of violence, and basically anything else you'd see on 4chan.

Apparently all that was just a "difference of opinions" so my old instance said it was fine.

The problematic instance also had a lot of posts shitting on this one for defederating them, so I just signed up a new account here.

I think that's the best part of Lemmy, it's easy to just drop an instance and find another that aligns more with what you want out of it.

A decade from now if the biggest instance pulls a spez, everyone would just move to a new instance
