Good attempt!

Where does the “likes data” come from for SJW?

Excellent! Although you might need to shift LW more fully into the blue if they decide to implement the Flat Earth proposal that they strongly tried to push a month ago, before as you say walking that back in response to the enormous outcry against it. Were they to continue though, that would radically shift the balance of everything across all of Lemmy if all of those community mods gave up and had to find new homes elsewhere.

Legitimately think that they simply did not think the proposal through. It was pretty nakedly an attempt to push back at radical echo-chamber communities, without understanding that rules cut both ways, and in the process of trying to justify and clarify it without being ‘ideological’, managed to just highlight how absurd the proposed rule was to begin with.

The two big problems with .world’s admins is that they’re very much amateurs (which is a hard thing to avoid in our scenario here), and that they, like many centrists, have trouble discerning where their ideology begins and ends. They feel the need to phrase things in ‘fair’ and non-discriminatory terms, but in doing so, often blunder into self-contradictory positions, because ultimately, discrimination (in the sense of discerning and marking) between views is what all rules are based on. The kind of “The law is the law” attitude that people who are accustomed to following, but not making, law, are prone to. One hopes that a mixture of experience and pushback will improve them, with time.

But yeah, had they implemented that, they’d go more auth and right, and I’d probably be packing up all my comms to go to another instance. Again.

Flat earth? Were they trolling or really believed that stuff? A lot of flat earthers are just trolls that don't even believe what they are posting. They're just trying to get a reaction.

How would that place them in blue and not just yellow?

I dont think you get more freedom of speech when becoming more authoritarian

Was it exploding heads?

If you go to that instance, it’s gone. Once everyone defederated from them, I guess it was over. Good. They can keep that shit elsewhere.

I suppose the fun starts trying to slot other instances in there.

So reply with an instance and thrash out it’s place on the graph.

Lol I love that SJW is listed as right wing for not explicitly being anticapitalist. Gave me a good laugh.

I strayed into dbzero without knowing what it was. Took me a few minutes of feeling like I was in the Twilight Zone before realizing they were all Libertarians and had a good laugh at myself for accidentally taking them seriously.

I think it’s even funnier that we hand out labels right at the ticket stand to lemmy and turn around to say that labeling people based on norms is bad.

Someone needs to make a comic, you can’t even make this shit up. Sign up for your next stake burning at a server near you.

Why are these instances so big, but not others? Like if I made a public instance and allow people to join, would it become this big?

Also, where do .world instances fall on this map?
