I’m on lemmy.cafe for now… so far so good, but I’m always up to jumping ship if I have to, I usually delete my content once per week so I have nothing to lose anyway (I’m still icky about Lemmy not permanently deleting someone’s content and just hidding it).
Speaking from a third-world country, there are 2 main weaknesses the fediverse has for us:
There used to be a mexican instance called Mujico, but they were forced to use a whitelist by constant troll attacks… But they also federated with grad so I can’t feel bad about it. I don’t know if it still exists but the last time I checked it had zero activity.
I’m so happy I switched to an instance that blocks grad, ml and hex, I can’t imagine the shitshow it should be for those that still want to tolerate at least hex.
You think people go around understanding and learning, trying to be better or to prevent others from suffering the same fate… but you are wrong, most humans are resentful assholes, who only care about themselves and are happy with all the astrosurfing and the chance to be assholes to others, I suffered because of X, so you have to suffer through Y while I laugh at you.
The same thing happened here in México, the puppet’s campaign was empty, just promising to keep doing what the expresident told her to… and that was enough to win, nobody cared for anything else, just the promise to bribe the lowest class and force the rest into lowering their life quality.
I’ve been saying this for a while, but they abuse that decent people try to be tolerant of them, not to make them angry or insult them, trying to be the reasonable ones… if we keep this way they are going to keep going with nobody standing up to them.
Speak for yourself, I threw the towel years ago and I’m just waiting for it to get worse enough to call it quits forever.
Terrible example, she’s a puppet for the cult leader and swore to keep applying unconstitutional reforms and lead us to centralised power… Which she is already doing since day one.
Also the other candidate was also a woman, but Morena was freely using misogyny against her because they were already the political party at power, so… Yeah… That’s anything but progressive and by winning by a landslide, they proved we mexicans are just the fucking worse.
Errr… México says hi, we elected the fascist one by a huge landslide and it’s been doing fascist things since day 1 so… Even when it’s extremely obvious, people will still pick the worst one if it has enough astrosurfing behind them.
We’re doing shit about it too, still acting as if the fascists party would listen to reason and not as their cult leader tells them to.

Yeah like… What’s the point of using xitter/meta alternatives if the servers are still going to federate with them? I’d use the normal apps if I wanted that.
