    1. The issue of using .zip already in your comment — it runs by the same people. Moronic decisions is not “if”, it’s “when”;
    2. Already using voyager. It’s not the reason I had to migrate: on world some admin wrote to me directly, after I blocked his community (it was full of propaganda, doesn’t particularly matter, that why we have block button) and insisted to use lang filters if I “don’t like it” — that weird behavior aside I actually went and checked lang filters, they were broken. On top of that, apparently world decided to block some instances about piracy, which is not cool with me. On blahaj.zone mods heavily against downvotes and looks like will never ,add them to main instance. They will try to add 1:10 ratio as a test to (I forgor instance name), where dislike will “weight” 0.1 of like. Which is kinda stupid. And here on piefed you already know about issues.
    3. “No ads” not really a problem — I use ublock on PC and patched aps on Android
    4. People, well, they are people. They are the same everywhere tbh. Maybe currently they are mostly belong to one group (like politically for example), but like, that not a good thing — it just creates a bubble of that interest. As one of example — apperently my comment about linux was offensive and due to high amount of not so well educated linux users, they drown me in downvotes. That wouldn’t happen on reddit even with comment like that, cause there you have more realistic representation of linux users, which is like, 1:10. Living in a bubble is not cool (but you do you).

    That being said, I’m not against fediverse in general, I’m just frustrated as same as OP, with instance admins who decided to shoot themselves in the foot.


  • My point was exactly as it reads: none of distros works, I say that as someone who uses linux for 15 years now, plus someone who contributed to open source projects and linux kernel (alto, not directly, it was just some conf file for touchscreen on old tablet). The few exceptions of linux distros that work well overall — are corporate managed, like Fedora. To be fair to linux, none of the other OS’es also work in my opinion, all of the IT constantly in a broken state, but maybe I’m just like this cause my job is a tech support.

    So yeah, my point reads like “random people that create instances on a whim, cause they were frustrated with rules of other instances (similar to how linux distros often created) — not a good solution of a problem”.
