Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?

    U might want to take a look at the federation map. It might be a bit overwhelming but in the settings on the bottom left you may chose blocked and allowed in order to get some insights on who federates with whom.

          Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.

          It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.

              It’s fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn’t make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it’s not helping the Lemmygrad situation.

                  I need to tell you something. You need to bear the patience of a saint with these liberals. If someone does not explain them, they will keep acting as state propaganda parrots. Its not too helpful to get right back at them, considering how unhinged and toxic they can act. You will lose everytime in shit slinging competition.

                    I appreciate the advice, but I have gotten the same talk from Muad before. This is me being patient and not slinging shit!

                    I’m specifically trying to get to the meat of the argument without wasting a lot of time effort-posting primary source essays no one will read.

                    I think it’s worthwhile to show the disparity between the liberal worship of polite debate and their actual actions.
