Do you feel a sense of loyalty to your instance? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I feel like I've formed some sort of faithfulness towards dbzer0 and have a bias towards subs and users of my instance. Anybody else in the same boat?

... what are your biases against me? 😅

It's interesting to see this in open discussion, as it's something I hadn't realized I did, but I do.

How many of us just picked the server because we wanted “popular, but not the most popular”? I imagine that attracts a type.

I’d want “bullied hexbear so hard they defederated out of shame” to be our bias if we get to choose. It’s always okay to ~~punch~~ bully a fascist.

Wait, they defederated from us? I thought I was noticing less of their... uh... content around.

Indeed, citing the amount of pushback they received when performing their stated goal of radicalizing people. Shocking, really.

This is wonderful news.

Yup, that was me. Popular enough to stay around, not so popular it'll get overrun by noobs coming from Reddit.

I feel like it still kinda got overwhelmed due to some instability a month or so back, but it's been pretty good. I might go elsewhere eventually since it's getting pretty popular (may even make my own instance), but for now, sh.itjust.works.

Honestly the sh.itjust.works instance is pretty on the level. I don't find too many antagonistic folks on the instance and the conversations tend to be pretty varied depending on the community. I've seen you guys mostly around video game subs.

I picked this instance because the name wasn't too serious and at the time, it was similarly popular as .world.

I'm really happy I chose shit because world became too popular in my opinion, and the admin here is pretty cool

I wanted an alt on iusearchlinux.fyi but the admin didn't approve my application :(

That's so arch linux user of them lmao

This made me laugh out loud

Same. I think it was the third or fourth most popular at the time, so I figured it had a good chance of not getting overwhelmed or falling into obscurity. I switched after the Reddit API announcement, but before the change went into effect, and I'm guessing a lot of others did too.

It still works well, so I stay. I'll probably move to a smaller instance eventually to help spread the load, but for now, sh.itjust.works.
