I created an account on another 'decent ’ instance but I’m not sure if I’ll keep it.
Comment on Why can't we have our own little party here? Why do we have to have lots of users?
Scruffy_Nerfherder@exploding-heads.com 1 year agoMoney can be raised. I think people would pay $20 /year to keep this open - assuming they had assurances, but I guess the cost of time effort and headache is the real burden.
Honestly the rest of Lemmy is a bunch of idiots I have very little interest in talking to.

Haven’t heard complaints about lemm.ee. And the stated goals and open financials seems pretty promising.
That said, I wouldn’t know it if people are routinely censored.

Main site has following rules:
-
No abusive language
-
No bigotry
-
No advertising
-
No pornography
Obviously last 2 aren’t relevant here. First two, strictly as written, I wouldn’t have issues with but I have seen sooo many leftists sites use the same language to basically virtue signal that they don’t like conservatives, conservative ideas, or speaking out in any way against minorities.
Could be these guys interpret those literally like I do or could be they interpret things through a Critical Race Theory / leftist lens. I have no clue but I usually put it in reverse when I see this cuz it’s so often the leftist interpretation.

Yea, but what they want to avoid is someone else taking over and becoming an evil dictator. Also costs.
