Seconded. I joined .ml because they were the first to have a formula 1 community.

I prefer to follow the news on other instances like beehaw and .world to avoid your experience.

There are normal/non-radical communities that exist that would be lost via defederation.

I think you’ve discovered most of them. I wish the meta communities were more active. I find them very valuable.

Then again I should try harder to be the change I want to see in the world.

What I took away from this is that the Exploding Heads people never truly left, they just migrated to different instances and some are still lurking on Lemmy.

Good to know.

I’d recommend https://lemmy.world/c/general it’s a community for general discussion and people seem to post whatever with no problem.

I love trash reality TV, but not as much as I love communities talking about trash reality TV.

I wish there was a community here for Love Island or Love is Blind.

Thanks, I’ve been using Lift Off but if Sync allows you to tag users, I’ll have to give it a try.

I feel that the ability to tag users is the only thing that Lemmy is missing for me. Maybe all of the actions of these bad actors will inspire the creation of a tagging system.
