my own dni list. also includes specific bits for other platforms such as the fediverse.
to get the basics and hopefully well known out of the way:a community that says they're aiming to make the fediverse "safer" by "fighting racism, queerphobia, harassment" and all that stuff, yet have posted blatent transphobia, spam moderation tags with useless information/ranting, do targeted harassment, literally doxx people, will say you're the harasser for asking them to stop, and show lack of respect to anyone outside of their group. yeah. no fucking thanks.
...you know the drill. kindly Get The Hell Away From Me!
instances that i look out for:
these instances contain a bunch of users to the point where they harm the fediverse and usually have lack of moderation due to that. i'd kindly recommend moving to a nicer smaller instance if you're willing to. you don't have to listen to me, i'm just text.
mixed bag. usually full of people who are techbros/fossbros and won't let you have a good time for mentioning something they don't like or they rant about how ai is the best thing in the world. also not the mention previous dramas on some of these instances. also, some of these i consider a part of corpo fedi.
i know its considered a "dick move" to block an entire instance just for its admin, but i keep hearing way too much about how the instance admin acts and what they've done and let into the instance. i'm just tired of hearing about it, sorry.
very loose with this one but personally, very tired of trans culture surrounding the instance. not saying i'm transphobic but it's always the same estrogen or egg or neocat joke every time, and the community contains certain traits and behaviors that make me feel uncomfortable. i'll let you in if i follow you or if you seem pretty cool though.
feel free to send a follow request if you think you pass all of the above or aren't on an instance i dislike a bit too much!
