EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳


We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

    Obviously censorship of any variety is a slippery slope, but holy hell some of what’s listed there is problematic. If I joined Beehaw in the hopes of enjoying a safe community for various minority groups like they are trying to promote, I’d feel decidedly un-safe seeing posts from skinhead instances and others with outright racial slurs in the names.

      The world is varied. It’s probably better to accept it and start living in it, instead of hiding in a corner.

        They already have to do that in the real world. There is no reason they need to put up with it online too.
