Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?
Oh wow what did lemmygrad.ml do?
I hate linking you to reddit but this post came to mind Choosing an instance; and my issues with lemmygrad

Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.

It’s fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn’t make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it’s not helping the Lemmygrad situation.

I appreciate the advice, but I have gotten the same talk from Muad before. This is me being patient and not slinging shit!
I’m specifically trying to get to the meat of the argument without wasting a lot of time effort-posting primary source essays no one will read.
I think it’s worthwhile to show the disparity between the liberal worship of polite debate and their actual actions.

@rrpeak@feddit.de linked one reddit post while I was searching for this one, so here it is anyway:

Make sure to “Show More” on each post in the thread, including the replies. I thought it was all spamming the same post for a minute, lol.
