A place to post your political compass memes!

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right Lemmygrad Exploding Heads Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
Blahaj zone and beehaw don't abuse defederation. Both instances use it for the exact purpose needed to achieve their goals. And I like that.
Literally the main reason I'm on blahaj zone is because I'm a trans lesbian and really don't want to deal with the shit I've seen on the blocked instances.
The whole point of the fediverse is you join one that aligns with your values and queer phobic stuff is a hard line nope from me. It's like the one place I feel reporting stuff actually does something.
I don't disagree with that, I even said that much in the blahaj quadrant. I just wish there was an easier way to fix these problems instead of burning bridges, because they sure burn a lot of them.
Burnt bridges can't be rebuilt. Refederation is always a possibility.
Beehaw has said they won't defederate until Lemmy has better moderation tools. Which is something that is totally out of our control. I have no idea of better moderation tools or even on the road map and if they are I have no idea where on the road map they are.
No one does, there's a whole discourse around the lack of a real roadmap for Lemmy and what the primary devs' goals are. Hopefully it'll happen someday, I guess.
Beehaw even said they'll refederate with certain instances if/when moderation tools improve. The main problem is that there's not a lot you can do to block off problematic users from instances on an individual basis.
If people took more than 30 seconds to read instead of being immediately reactionary, they'd have long since known beehaw's defederations are due to a lack of lemmy's own moderation tools currently.
But you can't expect anyone to read anything. 😅
I did read their entire statement, and while I can understand the reasoning behind it, I don't agree with their whole defederation thing they have going on
Political compass is a cringe concept ngl
Believing in it is. As a tool of expression it has limited uses. But ultimately it's an abstraction ungrounded from objective reality.
isn't the option to ignore an instance as a user coming to Lemmy real soon? I need that, hexbear can go fly a kite
Yes it is. Hopefully with 0.18.5, I'd like to think it's been made a higher priority now.
This compass is almost as stupid as the original political compass. Nice work with this unscientific filth.
I bet OP's understanding of politics can be succinctly summarized by this video lol
Like in what world does lemmy.world lean to the right? It's full of leftists and liberals, I think I've seen like two people who sounded like they leaned to the right.
"I went to the instance and read a post and it was right wing so they are right wing"
TIL i am right wing because I have an account on lemmy.world. now that's scyense!
Liberals lean to the right.
Is there an ijustwanna.grill?
Lemmy.be would be a good domain for grill centrists
I’m in the Lemmy.world bubble trying to educate myself about the rest and evaluate if I might need to migrate someplace else. And also trying to figure out the difference between instances. But I can’t figure out what “based” means or is referring to?
Thanks for this btw! It’s really informative
"Based" means the person using it thinks whatever they're referring to is incredibly awesome, a paragon of virtue.
I'm going to ~~shill~~ suggest lemm.ee, it's a lovely instance that isn't defederated from most (for better or worse, some people can't stand hexbear but soon lemmy will add the ability to block instances at the user level, rather than defederating) and the lead admin is very sharp with the development - he's even helped other instances when they've had major issues and he's made various contributions to the lemmy codebase. It always feels like we're getting the latest and slickest version of everything, with fewer bugs than other instances.
You’re absolutely right about pricefield lemmy, it’s super cute.
As a former user of lemmy.world. I agree with this meme. That place is even worse than reddit.
Where do you place us Sopuli users, QuentinCallaghan? 😃
Shit just works almost allowed 1 conservative community is your bar for far right? Lol I'd say they're pretty centrist but I don't know the details of the banned community.
Where would you place the diy focused lemmies?
I dunno, ask the maker of this, @[email protected].
I guess I’m off to meet my maker. Later nerds!
Oh hey sup, looks like my meme got reposted to a spin off PCM community I wasn't even aware of, thanks for spreading the good word.
I suppose DIY folks would lean libright, something about wanting to fix your own stuff without having to rely on a community (communities tend to be associated with the left) + right to repair and wanting to do things your own way (libertarian).
... but of course without an instance or a community list to look at it's hard to tell @[email protected].
So that's why Ive not been seeing half my subscriptions. Guess I gotta swap instances again.
Thank you. Because of this meme I know know what instances I should look for
How do I move instance, and can I take my shit-posts with me?
As said to the og creator, burggit.moe is way further lib Center than LemmyNSFW...
Well, you're not wrong.
Everything at the top of that can just go away. I don't mind left or right wing necessarily. but their complete unwillingness to even concede the other people may have a point is infuriating. Interacting with them is pointless.
Agreed about lemmy.world being cringe and lame. Gonna find a new instance as soon as I can find the time to do so.
I'm degenerate and I'm proud!
