Burggit is the only instance that I have a feeling that I’m not swapping the repressive admin set from reddit for another repressive set from lemmy. I think the people of reddit are too used to being repressed. Being told what they can and can’t post. Your title needs to look like this, you need to have these tags in your post, you most post every source in an image. No photoshop. No AI. There’s certain body types you cannot post as determined by anyone who wants to use the report button. I see it on every instance where they preportally make a “safe space” by censoring and restricting the ever loving shit out of their community.
Every other instance I’ve seen has started where reddit left off: repressed enough to be advertisement friendly. I feel they do this because it’s all they’ve known recently.
In this instance, I see the seed of it not trying to be a no holds barreled 4chan knockoff like some instance are, but a site trying to be what reddit was - separate groups coming together to make a small community. Rules in place to carefully guide it from being taken down or becoming shit. Rules about behavior rather than content.
Thank you very much for those kind words. This made my night despite previously feeling admittedly defeated after getting defederated from yet another big community.
Which said big community was threatened with a defederation from other big instances if they don’t get rid of their r/the_donald knockoff sub that has only one person making milquetoast newsy posts.
I only found out because I wanted to chime in to defend them from the Reddit hivemind that was being completely unreasonable towards the instance operator. I wish them lots of luck and good will since they want to maintain their tolerant stance towards communities they disagree with, what with the said reddit janny hivemind taking hold across this part of the hilariously fractured fediverse.
I getcha. I was never a T_D guy, but the time when T_D was banned was a pretty clear line crossed in terms of Reddit admins deciding they would determine the site’s direction rather than the community. It was eminently obvious that the excuse they gave was BS as well.
Definitely the exact sort of thing we’re aiming for! Thanks for the kind words Nazrin, and thanks for trusting us to host Touhou NSFW, we love having you here and hope to continue to make it a place you and other users enjoy!
Sorry that someone crashed your thread.

Anyways, again, thank you. I needed this.
