    i’ve started recommending feddit.org (my lemmy instance) to people that i know irl, but the difficulty is the content: too much politics (especially trump and others), and not enough shitpost.

      i try that too but its so hard to get people who are used to endless doom scrolling on reddit to accept the fact that u can scroll lemmy for 20min 2x per day and then u done (thats a good thing tho). Its even worse for the insta brained ones…

      feddit.org

      Be mindful that that is a Germany-based right-wingoid cesspit that supports and excuses the Israel genocide of Palestinians, all under the guise that “legally they can’t ever be as evil as us, the Nazis”.

        yeah thank you for informing me about the details of the instance that i’ve been using for checks note 4 years and am very well familiar with

        also the feddit.org controversy about israel was mostly overblown. idk, probably 1 mod’s personal views got exaggerated as “the whole platform thinks like this”

          The fediverse itself. It made quite the rounds on the grapevine for a few months. During their moment of simping for Israel in the Palestine conflict, Germany passed a law regarding “Nazi Exceptionalism” too, that basically punishes people for suggesting anyone could even try to be as evil as Nazis were, and was largely part of the rationale.
