Not really.
so that’s 3/4 that you’re saying to avoid because you personally have deemed their moderation policies objectively inferior (and judging by 1 and 2 you probably think the same about hexbear?)
sounds like they’re just instances you politically disagree with, one of which does happen to also be massive. I’m not saying redditors should come to those 4 instances, they mostly shouldn’t (grad and hexbear don’t want most of them, .ml has been trying to not be “the default instance” since forever, and world is a shithole and already massive/centralizing), but your choice of list was transparently more political than it was about centralization, why not just be honest about that?
Or are you going to pull the “moderation policies are (or should be) objective and apolitical” canard?
I never said it was about centralisation, it was about instances being recommended to newcomers. Sorry if that was unclear.
I don’t know if you realise this but we can actually see the titles of posts we’re commenting on.
The comment I was replying to said “Don’t make perfect the enemy of good!”, likely referring to getting users onto the fediverse from sites like reddit. I think recommending almost any instance but those ones is a good idea to newcomers.
Also, just because the title references centralisation, the biggest problem plaguing LW, doesn’t mean there are other reasons to avoid it.
What context do you think they said that in? Were they referring to a completely different post? No, obviously not, the entire discussion has been about centralisation, because you made the title of the thread about centralisation, and now that’s being used against you you’re pretending that somehow the entire discussion you created about centralisation isn’t about centralisation.
My title references centralisation. This is a post about annoyance from people recommending LW in general.
So you’re annoyed about people being recommended lemmy.world, but not because of centralisation, you just titled it like you’re annoyed by the centralisation? Are you just being a troll now?
No, I’m not trolling.
I’m annoyed about people recommending LW, but not specifically because of centralisation. Centralisation is one of the larger issues though.
It honestly feels like you are misinterpreting the post (and comments) on purpose. Are you trolling?
