I see more toxicity directed towards Hexbear than from Hexbear, for what it’s worth.

Should be today, or soon.

The “nothing ever happens” gang stays winning, happy to see federation will resume soon. More Leftists federated is a good thing.

Hey, the good news is we might get more Communists on federated media.

On the contrary, it makes little sense at all. Ideologies can’t be put on a compass like that.

The Political Compass is generally a terrible way to view politics, I wouldn’t put any stock in it.

To be fair, that seems to be more of a Lemmy.world problem, which itself is one of the worst overall instances.

Enshittification comes from Capitalism and the Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall, not necessarily centralization. The Fediverse eliminates the issues that lead to enshittification.

It’s an utter failure in understanding Marxism, trans liberation is a firmly Marxist position. Communist Parties in the Imperial Core tend to have the worst takes imaginable because they are largely detached from the International Movement as they are made up of Labor Aristocracy.

The UK in general is TERF island, so it’s not hard to see why their views suck.

Really wish I could hear an explanation for keeping Nutomic around when there is blatant transphobia. Either a public apology or something along those lines, it’s clear Nutomic has made trans users feel unsafe and that goes against the stated anti-transphobia aims.

Typical LW L. From the mods literally admitting to being anti-Marxist to failing to protect trans users, LW is sowing its own destruction.

Hexbear is easily the most trans-positive instance, and it isn’t close. Strictly anti-chaser, pro-trans, there’s even a cis/trans questionaire that shows trans and trans-questioning members outnumber cis members when put together.

Lemmy.ml’s trans community has fantastic mods, but unfortunately Lemmy.ml itself isn’t as protective of its trans users. I try to report transphobia when I see it, but I see a lot more transphobia on Lemmy.ml than I do on Hexbear.net, which is a symptom more of the userbase than the mods IMO.

Lemmy.ml is majority leftist, ie Marxist or Anarchist, not liberal.

Lemmy.world continues to prove that their biggest utility is in attracting the bulk of the Reddit Crowd so that other, more specialized communities aren’t overwhelmed, and the older worlders can then join a better community for the long-run.

You can have all of that good if you want to, but being federated allows people to break off if they want. It also allows for niche servers.

The infrastructure is already there in that case, to restore it, and it would be less likely to fall.

Having no sole source of information hosting in an encyclopedic format is safer.

Could this not also be seen as advantageous? If one wants to get nuanced understandings, they could read from multiple wikis written with multiple perspectives, without the tug of war. Presently, as a centralized platform, there’s the back and forth you mentioned with neither side being satisfied.

Assuming people cite their sources and more reputable instances are more developed, this allows for sharing lesser heard perspectives. A flat-earth wiki isn’t going to dominate, because you can’t get valid sources for that.

Overall, cautiously optimistic. I like the idea, and think that as a framework, this is a great thing! It remains to be seen what will come of this, though.

All the more reason to push this project forward, as a redundancy.
