Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.

So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.

Where are you going?

Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.

    I think it depends what you are looking for but I think a solid rule of thumb is to look at what communities you interact with the most and see what instances they belong to.

    If piracy is specifically what you are after I’d go for dbzer0. If it’s NSFW content that kind of complicates things.

    I decided to give leminal.space a try and I like it. The admins are nice and quick to deal with issues and make posts about changes in the instance.

        That’s the instance I was using originally until they had the domain name issue. I’ve had issues getting their website to load and for some reason it’s on uBlock Origin’s EasyList.

          Yea they got a new domain and I saw the new lemmy instance working at some point. Maybe they’re facing some legal issues or something, or cloudflare has shut them down.

            Could be but I feel like they would have had their other website taken down if that was the case. I hope they address it in their monthly update post in September.
