Many people complain that there isn’t enough content on here, yet many people also expect all new users to not only share their beliefs, but know how the Threadiverse works before joining.

If the Threadiverse is to grow, people need to be patient with new users, ensuring they are well-informed with an informational DM at the very least if their post must be taken down. People also can’t expect all new users to fit squarely within the relatively niche set of interests the Threadiverse currently caters best to.

Mocking users and injecting religion into your comments isn’t going to win you much support on Lemmy.

As others informed me, Hexbear still uses the allowlist system. While it seems like they’re pretty good about adding instances that don’t defederate them to their whitelist, six instances with over 50 MAU that don’t defederate them are effectively defederated from them due to not being on their whitelist.

That means 200 officers taken off the capital’s streets, where they could have been tackling the crimes that matter most to Londoners.

Don’t waste law enforcement resources dismantling civil rights then.

“Having no legitimate religious reason to refuse granting religious exemptions to the taking of abortion-derived vaccines, Catholic schools in Florida should comply with Florida law.”

The dishonesty of conflating stem cell research with vaccine research aside, assholes like this want countless people to die of preventable diseases in the name of not benefitting from a handful of abortions that would still be occurring.

As someone informed me, Hexbear is unique in that most of its “defederations” are just instances that aren’t on its approval list. Jlai.lu doesn’t defederate Hexbear itself, but isn’t on the approval list, so I guess that’s effectively a defederation; I’ll adjust the next version of the chart to account for that.
