  • Some akkoma instances to federate with:

    snowdin.town: leftist, queer, antifascist, explicitly anti-loli/pedo/etc; actively blocks all the kind of shit we're concerned about

    Outerheaven.club: Metal Gear, blocks the bad stuff

    mycrowd.ca: general purpose, very anti,fascist/bigotry/pedo, blocks the bad stuff

    akkow.wtf: general purpose shitposting, blocks the bad stuff

    seafoam.space: general purpose chill site, blocks the bad stuff

    Akkoma is Twitter/Mastodon/Pleroma style and so far most seems to have attracted very cool and active communities

  • fuckcars.social, akkoma instance run by one of the admins of urbanists.social

    Crystals.rest; general purpose for vtubers and weebs, blocks threads

    Lemmy.zip, general purpose with a slant towards tech and programming; blocks threads

    Lemmy.studio, musicians instance, blocks pedo shit

    Partizle.com, general purpose, blocks pedo shit

  • How about going the block-list route instead?

    Lemmy has three types of federation:

    • Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
    • BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
    • Open: Federate with all potential instances.
  • feddit.de is a German-speaking alternative, independent and self-managed space for free exchange of views, beyond the control of large tech companies. They have upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.0, meaning that their users can decide for themselves which instances to block, in the marketplace of ideas.

  • Hey, is there a good reason we don’t federate with https://slrpnk.net/ ? I just ask because it’s an anarchist environmentalist instance with no porn and no bigotry (that I’ve seen). I haven’t spent much time analysing it but from first impressions it looks to be both fairly active and feels like it may have users who would be more or less aligned with hexbear even if they are federated with some worse instances.
