    I specifically avoid Beehaw, Hexbear and World for that reason.

      Is Beehaw really that bad? I mean I’ve heard it’s super authoritarian, and I’ve never posted there, plus I wonder just how capricious they are… well I sorta am answering my own question here (but it doesn’t look all that horrible from a distance, I guess is what I’m saying?:-).

        very

        For example, I once referred to a bigoted minister as a “moron” and was accused of using “ableist” language.

        After two more similar incidents there, I bailed.

      The .world admins are making me consider jumping ship to a new instance at some point. Bit unfortunate to have picked this instance at the start, but it was better than .ml I suppose.

        I specifically avoid .ml and .world because the collective behavior (i.e., hostility, downvote trolling, etc.) is so much like Reddit.

        Beehaw, Hexbear and Blahaj have all disabled downvotes, but Blahaj is the only one that’s decent, which is why I’m here.

          I was thinking about going over to db0 since the big guy himself seems like a nice enough person. Blahaj is probably my next favourite pick after that.
