Honestly, I’m not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c’mon) is not okay.

Wasn’t the entire point of moving to the Fediverse that we can easily switch instances if one goes bad?
Why are people still on .world lmao
It’s a dumb argument because unless you’re willing to lie to moderators with different usernames to trick them into not knowing who you are (ban evasion) being banned on one shitty instance locks you out of it and any communities it has. Lemmy.world has many of the bigger ones, lemmy.ml too.
Moving on isn’t as easy as people make it seem. This is one of those Fediverse lies that people regurgitate ad-nauseam.
The truth is that bigger instances, or instances holding bigger communities hold a larger slice of the pie, and unless you forcefully remove people from the instances, or remove the instances from the people, they cannot be replaced. You can’t start your own instance and communities to replace the big ones at the top. Your new one will occupy less of the pie.
Looking at the communities tab can give you an idea of which ones they are

The instances which hold these positions hold control, and they can’t be as easily replaced or bypassed. So “Just move to another server” doesn’t work unless you’re encouraging ban evasion, which most people are not. They can make a real impact on your experience in the Fediverse, and trying to deny that fact is disingenuous and misinformation, because they absolutely do hold control here. They are the ones who’s actions make a difference, especially because they cannot be replaced easily.
Few reasons:
I joined when it was one of the smaller instances
Laziness
Currently looking to move
The fediverse will be at its greatest when communities can seamlessly switch instances. As seen from the minimal Reddit user migration, users won’t switch as much as necessary to affect real change.
Well OP did switch, indicated by the switched instance of their new account
Been thinking about this for about a week now. How does one go about switching instances?
Create a new account
For some reason I thought you could migrate your profile between instances. Oh well. Fuck world. I just kinda got plopped here because I use Sync mainly - ready to move now though.
You can just use the import/export settings feature in the account settings
In settings there’s an import and export button. I will post a link or something here if I find one.

Hmm, what does this do?
Export your instances list and blocklist. Then in your new account you can import them again.
Thanks!
Thanks for this!
There’s a tool somewhere that lets you download your subscriptions then apply them to the new account, but no migration.
It’s not a tool, it’s a feature in the settings
The large user base, and a couple of communities who don’t care about current events. But it’s not an admin thing anyway so - ? Does it really matter what instance it’s on?
I dont’ know what community that was in, but if it was one of the usual suspects, I’d say move to a different community. Not sure what .world has to do with it since it wasn’t an admin thing, just some mod being mod. !Politics, I assume?
mods on politcs and news are neo lib acolytes, they mode for the ruling class while pretending to be one of us lol
