Enjoy a RARE piece of original content from your's truly, instead of a repost from deep in my dust-covered downloads folder
Was it exploding heads?
If you go to that instance, it's gone. Once everyone defederated from them, I guess it was over. Good. They can keep that shit elsewhere.

Believe so. Fuck them though, they don't even deserve to have their name written in the meme.
Lol I love that SJW is listed as right wing for not explicitly being anticapitalist. Gave me a good laugh.
I suppose the fun starts trying to slot other instances in there.
So reply with an instance and thrash out it's place on the graph.
SlrPnk.net is halfway between Dbzer0 and “left”.
Arguably dbzer0 would be a bit further towards the libertarian right, although still in the bottom left corner.
Would you not consider them to be ancom? (I can’t tell myself)
No, more like reasonable anarcho-individualists.
We're primarily AnComs. I am for sure. I also disagree with your take on piracy. I look at it from the perspective of the end user, and I don't consider that anyone should be excluded from culture just for not being able to afford it.
Excellent! Although you might need to shift LW more fully into the blue if they decide to implement the Flat Earth proposal that they strongly tried to push a month ago, before as you say walking that back in response to the enormous outcry against it. Were they to continue though, that would radically shift the balance of everything across all of Lemmy if all of those community mods gave up and had to find new homes elsewhere.
Legitimately think that they simply did not think the proposal through. It was pretty nakedly an attempt to push back at radical echo-chamber communities, without understanding that rules cut both ways, and in the process of trying to justify and clarify it without being 'ideological', managed to just highlight how absurd the proposed rule was to begin with.
The two big problems with .world's admins is that they're very much amateurs (which is a hard thing to avoid in our scenario here), and that they, like many centrists, have trouble discerning where their ideology begins and ends. They feel the need to phrase things in 'fair' and non-discriminatory terms, but in doing so, often blunder into self-contradictory positions, because ultimately, discrimination (in the sense of discerning and marking) between views is what all rules are based on. The kind of "The law is the law" attitude that people who are accustomed to following, but not making, law, are prone to. One hopes that a mixture of experience and pushback will improve them, with time.
But yeah, had they implemented that, they'd go more auth and right, and I'd probably be packing up all my comms to go to another instance. Again.
I'm going to quote @simple@lemm.ee on their comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/14430767
This is like the third time LW tried to be front-and-center in deciding how conversations should happen on Lemmy. You are the most popular Lemmy instance and most content is on your instance. This isn’t an experimental safe space instance to dictate how social media should work. Please understand that any weirdly aggressive stances you take affects everyone.
they, like many centrists, have trouble discerning where their ideology begins and ends.
I thought a centrist was someone between "Don't be Stalin" and "Don't be Hitler."
We are discussing in a thread about the political compass, so even strictly going by the meaning of the word "centrist" it wouldn't put you only on one axis in the authoritarian half.
But in reality a "centrist" is usually referring to someone in support of the status quo or at least someone that doesn't want to rock the boat too hard. Where exactly that person falls in the ideological spectrum can vary widely between countries, and even if they are not outright conservative in their expressed opinions, the very act of preferring the status quo makes them structurally conservative.
I am not sure if that is the case anymore. In many countries, like the U.S., the left and right have moved, and the center is not really represented by any party anymore. And considering the economy and the problems they see in society, the center wants change these days, not the status quo.
That seems to be a case of mistakenly thinking "the center is where my believes are".
In the US the Democracts are about as centrist and for the status quo as it gets.
