“We’ve realised we were mistaken in thinking other people care more about us than about themselves and we’ve deprioritised posting on the Internet in favour of dealing with the real world.”
every instance has some users worth keeping in some conversation
That doesn’t contradict what I said.
Refraining from making the fediverse an archipelago where people refuse to talk to anyone who had the misfortune of picking the wrong instance
The fediverse cannot now be made that because the fediverse is already that.
Do they genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.
From my interactions, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re mostly seriously broken people who’ve discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.
If they weren’t so toxic, they’d be deserving of compassion and forebearance.
Thanks but I meant links to your posts :-) Or more specifically, the communities you post to with anti-regime info. I looked through your profile but I couldn’t see where you were posting such things beyond World News.
if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism
There is definitely a place for Soviet simps in the Fediverse, it’s just in a corner all by itself. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
I post about horrors that are happening in Ukraine (not the ones that are committed by Russia, but by Zelensky’s regime with support from the west)
Any chance of a link? Just out of curiosity.
Every time we fragment the fediverse we make it overall worse.
Only if your conception of better/worse is focussed on user count rather than user quality.
Average users don’t even understand what they’re looking at when it comes to decentralized networks
Refraining from defederation won’t change that.
In this context, the word “dictatorship” means something very different to what it means in general usage referring to the governance of nation states. OP’s comment seems like a silly effort to try and shoe-horn their favourite political subject into a thread where the subject doesn’t fit.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else
Why should we?
Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!
Actually it does. Just like IRC, the fediverse is not a democracy, it’s a dictatorship. As a user, you have no rights at all. You’re offered the privilege of being permitted to connect and participate. Don’t like it? Nobody cares. Go start your own server/network/whatever.
Is this a title ?
No, that’s part of the post text. The post’s title is empty.
