I’m considering making a list on our company git repository of lemmy instances not operated by marxists, I think it’d be a great way to introduce more people to this network.

However, my only concern is this being used as a blanket blocklist on instances operated by marxists. Any ideas, will this make more good or harm?

Oh shit. You make a good point about this putting you on a block list. Honestly with that said I don’t know. Where are you leaning more towards right now

I’m gonna go ahead with it methinks, if they want to block us they will anyway I guess. Can’t stop people putting their head in the sand.

I’ll begin creation of this git repo and add instances to it, please reply to this comment with instances you’d like me to add :)

I think the instances that want to block us, will block us anyway.

My hope for the Lemmyverse going forward is that it becomes a lot more tolerant of different viewponts and willing to engage in discussion rather then simply block/ban.

It also puts a responsibility on us to be respectful when we engage.

I think you’re right.

Do it.

Thinking about it more we not only should add right leaning instances but generally instances who won’t ban you for saying the “wrong stuff”

I agree on this point. I don’t want an ideological echo chamber, just a place that you don’t have to be walking on eggshells.

The fact is right now right wing places are the places that let you say stuff and they just call you stupid instead of banning you or seeking out your employer, but even that could change in a heartbeat. What matters is libre.

We can do this through subscriptions I suppose, so that when you visit a right leaning instance, you are recommended more content of the same type (through subscribing to communities)

No worries, you’re pretty much bang on with that statement.

It is going to filter out zombies from the crowd. I already use the lemmy.ml blocklist to find good instances.

That is an interesting tactic, I will investigate that :)

The thing is most lib instances are already here. I am talking about exploding heads, fbxl, narwhal.city, nrsk.no

I sorta feel like they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. On the main fediverse fediblock exists, but only real squares mindlessly use it.
