The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?

I mean, I’m an ‘anarkiddie’ according to actual tankies, but I don’t broadly discriminate against .ml users, most of them are great!
… but, a lot of .ml powermods do things like declare the Xi Poohbear meme to be inherently racist, even though it was literally created by Chinese netizens.
Or, god help you if you attempt to discuss the Holodomor.
Yeah I’m sure if MAGA types were still calling Obama “Tigger” to this day, you’d insist it wasn’t racist?
That’s not a valid reason to think it’s not racist for Westerners to use it, especially when the OG meme was specifically about one picture where Xi and Obama were walking together and looked a little bit like Winnie and Tigger. For one, Chinese people are just as capable of saying racist stuff as anyone else, but also language and memes transform when transported to different cultures. Xi Jinping bears little resemblance to Winnie the Pooh; the fact that online anticommunists really want to die on the hill that they should be allowed to compare the president of China to a yellow bear reflects poorly on them.
Yeah, if you say the typical line among online anticommunists that the USSR committed a genocide via famine in Eastern Europe you’ll get a similar reaction to the one you’d get if you went and said as such in a history department at any university. That is, outside of the Baltic states, Ukraine, and particularly reactionary parts of North America. From the way you directly wrote “Holodomor/Holocaust numbers” in this comment it appears that you subscribe to the double genocide theory and think that those 2 events are comparable.
sigh
I’m not going to have this discussion, again.
I’m tired.
Thank you for proving my point that some .ml users get very very touchy about these two topics.
These are the words of someone who knows they’re wrong but are to stubborn to admit it, lol.
Yeah because you’re demonstrably incorrect on both counts. If you don’t wanna talk about it, don’t bring it up.
… says the one week old account that only exists to pick fights and do nothing other than argue ideology.
Come on buddy, its possible to say something and reference an example of a controversial/touchy topic, as an example of being a controversial/touchy topic, without wanting to engage in that controversy.
Oops, hexbear just happened to link to this page. Whoopie. I guess “it was on there front page”.
Surely they’re in good faith.
My main account is @[email protected], it’s not my fault the biggest Lemmy instance defederated us pre-emptively as a last resort.
Good luck with that!
