Yeah on second glance, it is federated with lemmygrad, but I somehow don't see the posts from there. Apparently, I've only blocked one sub from there "GenZedong", but that seems to be enough for me to not see any of their stuff at a ll.
I am currently slowly migrating towards another instance, but I genuinely do feel comfortable on lemmy.ml
You are not the first person I've heard this from. Ironically the people who avoid anything even resembling a political topic can have quite the calm experience there, in the other communities.
However, it's still supporting that behavior, and there's also the "first they came for" mantra, which suggests that even though they haven't banned you from the entire instance yet, it may still lead to a shocking surprise when they eat your face off later rather than sooner.
But yes there are many other instances to choose from:-). Like feddit.org for a location-based instance for someone in Europe, or Discuss.Online for someone based in the USA, or themed instances such as programming.dev or literature.cafe, etc.
Not sure what to expect with the "eating my face off" part, but I can always just migrate away
Oh I just meant that you might be surprised by being banned yourself - being there now, even if they have not come for you yet, doesn't mean that they won't in the future. Sorry, I suppose the eating leopards was misleading bc it could be interpreted so as to imply that you wanted some of those aspects, but I did not mean to imply that you did.
An example story of someone being banned there who found that fact surprising - in this case they were even told to kill themselves by a lemmy.ml mod, who said that he wanted to shoot the OP, but it was OP's comments that were removed, not the mod who advocated for violence against him.
Well thanks for the warning, and I'll keep my eyes sharp for anything heading my way!
