    You can say anything, but always better to have an account on two or three politically different instances in case you want to critisize USA, China, or any controversial thing in the world.

    But if you ain’t an asshole, you’re welcome! Have a nice journey into the fediverse!

      Thanks! When I joined, I joined a few instances, so I can see what feels best for me. Have a great day and thanks! :D

      What server do you recommend if I don’t want politics (I don’t like how much is on lemmy.ml )

        To be fair I just follow a collection of subs and never switch to the local or all tabs. You don’t seem to have to see your own instance all that often if you don’t want to

        You can block users or communities, or you can effectively join other instances. I heard good from lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.sdf.org, but it’s best to just go on join-lemmy.org or fediverse.party and finding an instance you resonate with.

        (Oh yes, in case you didn’t know, the fediverse is not limited to lemmy, and is a huge system of many protocols and systems)

        On federated social media, things changes very fast, and you will probably move to another instance from time to time. On the first hand, small instance are chill, they can be quite dead sometimes, but that’s where you will find peace from politics. On the other hand, big instances are active, but get sometimes involved in useless drama, and that’s where it often gets political.

        Lemmy.ml, I know it, is a bit annoying on some terms, like the sensorship of some swears like “motherfucker” or of chinese criticism, but they haven’t been bothering me so i didn’t really leave. They are federated to a lot of instances and that’s a good point. Am also on a very small server with a dozen of people, there are plenty of servers like that if you dig a bit.

        Well idk why did i wrote that much, hope it’ll be useful at least, and that the swear won’t get me banned.

        See ya cyberspace anon!

          wait what is the fediverse (wikipedia covers this, but not in a way useful for me right now)

            Well, to sum it up, it’s a bunch of servers acting together like a big decentralised social media. They connect thanks to activitypub, and it’s quite amazing.

            Here’s a good illustration, i think

            For exemple, one can see your profile here from lemmy: lemmy.ml/u/camille_jamal but also from mastodon: https://mas.to/@Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml/ And even from misskey! https://misskey.io/@camille_jamal@lemmy.ml

            Even though thoses three fedi services have very differents interfaces and ways of working, they can communicate thanks to activitypub.

            If you check c/fediverse@lemmy.world, you’ll see a bunch of useful links about the fediverse in their description.

            I see you’re banned, hope you’ll still get my message, and that your ban is temporary… anyway have a nice day.
