World has the problem of being the default, ml has the problem of being tankie central. Blahaj zone is by far the best for queer people imo. Some people still have problems with Ada the main admin but she does her damnedest to be fair and transparent imo, and you'll never please everyone.
Ada seems really cool, she does a lot for this community and won't take shit from transphobes, which seem to be most of the people I see complaining about her, transphobes and their "centrist" apologists. IMO those are the one group of people you don't try to please, them not being pleased is a good thing.
Yeah imo Ada does an amazing job, the negativity I've seen towards her from blahaj zone users has just been dissatisfaction towards how she's settled in instance drama. But like, fuck, even if you don't like how she's settled stuff you should respect how transparent and genuine she is.
Blåhaj is love, Blåhaj is life.
Does lemm.ee have any problems? I used it for a while last year, before I came across blahaj.zone, as a lighter-weight alternative to lemmy.world. Could be an alternative, but I don't know if they've had any drama I missed.
Never heard of any drama or negativity coming out of there! Though I also don't go looking for it
Well, they do host the main conservative community !conservative@lemm.ee
But same, haven't heard of any drama surrounding them, and they do moderate bigotry
Don't they have a conservative community there? Yeah, pass. They may not nearly have as many transphobes as .world but if they're tolerant of conservative assholes, they might be in the near future.
