Was it exploding heads?

If you go to that instance, it's gone. Once everyone defederated from them, I guess it was over. Good. They can keep that shit elsewhere.

Believe so. Fuck them though, they don't even deserve to have their name written in the meme.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

There was Wolfballs, which started out as a right-leaning free speech instance, but was obviously quickly overrun by trolls and fascists, so everyone defederated them and the owner decided to shut it down. As a result all the problematic people including the mods from Wolfballs moved to Exploding-Heads, which welcomed them with open arms despite also not being originally a pure right-wing instance. And yeah obviously they got defederated as well then...

I showed up right after the drama with their instance.

What was their deal?

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was nazi and had fucking loli shit on it. That made LITERALLY every instance defederate. Even the ones that were neutral said fuck you to them.

Lemmy OC? And interesting?! That's rare indeed.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Lol I love that SJW is listed as right wing for not explicitly being anticapitalist. Gave me a good laugh.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah that last joke pulls the entire meme together.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, I hadn't thought of political leanings when I signed up. I literally just googled for a list of instances, and the first instance that I successfully signed up with stuck. I tried .ml and .world first, but their signup pages were DoS'ed by the hoardes of redditors like myself fleeing when our apps died because of the api BS...

Can't say that I regret my instance though. When ml and blahaj are going off on each other, I'll grab some popcorn and sit back... But I've learned that you shouldn't engage with a .ml community, and the mods on .world are probably the most like the power hungry cunts on reddit.

Good attempt!

Where does the "likes data" come from for SJW?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whenever I see the admins post, it's always with charts and details that I don't generally see (or at least, don't generally notice) from other instances.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For a second there I thought there was a social justice warrior instance.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

You have to write a paragraph about your chosen Social Justice class at signup. Social Justice Wizard best!

This is a high quality comment. Source: am high

I'd rather be a Social Justice Warlock, where do I find my patron?

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

At least at the start, the instance was mostly networking and sysadmin nerds. During reddit's APIocalypse, our admin started up the server and put up a detailed post about the hardware, infrastructure and benchmarking everything. Stuff like that is what drew me and many others to this instance.

[–] Bonifratz@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First time I realised it has these initials. Is that on purpose?

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

My recollection of "the lore" is that the admin already owned "itjust.works" and thought "sh" would be a funny subdomain for hosting lemmy. I think the sjw initialism is just a coincidence.

[–] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I sense no bias in this meme

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I suppose the fun starts trying to slot other instances in there.

So reply with an instance and thrash out it's place on the graph.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

feddit.uk - I won't comment as I'm biased.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Authright - has an Emperor

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

Fair point.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

SlrPnk.net is halfway between Dbzer0 and “left”.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Arguably dbzer0 would be a bit further towards the libertarian right, although still in the bottom left corner.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would you not consider them to be ancom? (I can’t tell myself)

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago (9 children)

No, more like reasonable anarcho-individualists.

Well this game a few solid chuckles...

the money shot:

"not explicitly anti-capitalist" is the furthers right you can get on lemmy

Yas hehe

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Excellent! Although you might need to shift LW more fully into the blue if they decide to implement the Flat Earth proposal that they strongly tried to push a month ago, before as you say walking that back in response to the enormous outcry against it. Were they to continue though, that would radically shift the balance of everything across all of Lemmy if all of those community mods gave up and had to find new homes elsewhere.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Legitimately think that they simply did not think the proposal through. It was pretty nakedly an attempt to push back at radical echo-chamber communities, without understanding that rules cut both ways, and in the process of trying to justify and clarify it without being 'ideological', managed to just highlight how absurd the proposed rule was to begin with.

The two big problems with .world's admins is that they're very much amateurs (which is a hard thing to avoid in our scenario here), and that they, like many centrists, have trouble discerning where their ideology begins and ends. They feel the need to phrase things in 'fair' and non-discriminatory terms, but in doing so, often blunder into self-contradictory positions, because ultimately, discrimination (in the sense of discerning and marking) between views is what all rules are based on. The kind of "The law is the law" attitude that people who are accustomed to following, but not making, law, are prone to. One hopes that a mixture of experience and pushback will improve them, with time.

But yeah, had they implemented that, they'd go more auth and right, and I'd probably be packing up all my comms to go to another instance. Again.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm going to quote @simple@lemm.ee on their comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/14430767

This is like the third time LW tried to be front-and-center in deciding how conversations should happen on Lemmy. You are the most popular Lemmy instance and most content is on your instance. This isn’t an experimental safe space instance to dictate how social media should work. Please understand that any weirdly aggressive stances you take affects everyone.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This isn’t an experimental safe space instance to dictate how social media should work. Please understand that any weirdly aggressive stances you take affects everyone.

Yeah, basically. Which is why the pushback is important, and, though it reflects a serious paucity of understanding, it's also good that they're willing to retract in response to pushback.

They're slow learners, and perhaps everyone is in a position of power, but we'll see if we can teach them.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do they even want to learn? Sometimes I see threads like this in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, when they're wrong, they double down on it, then a bunch of people tell them they are incorrect again, and they never answer: https://lemmy.world/comment/14411568

JordanLund is widely agreed to be a poor mod in terms of their inability to handle conflict, man. Don't know what kind of response you're looking for.

I think it's even funnier that we hand out labels right at the ticket stand to lemmy and turn around to say that labeling people based on norms is bad.

Someone needs to make a comic, you can't even make this shit up. Sign up for your next stake burning at a server near you.
