Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it’s not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It’d be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.

    ‘people who can’t handle living in a mixed society’

    That’s … both sides, all sides, isn’t it? Specifically for exploding-heads, there were numerous and loud calls on multiple instances to defederate from them.

      Are you for real? You do realize that “mixed society” is referring to actual real life, right?

        That wasn’t clear to me. I thought this was about siloed lemmy instances, hence I talked about that.

        I don’t see how their comment makes sense from your perspective. Can you explain? According to that theory, where did the exploding-heads people go, joining the people who can’t handle living in a mixed society in real life? Do you mean they stopped using the internet or how does that help to explain the observation?

          I read it as saying that, despite having ideals on two opposite ends of the spectrum, they’ve found “common ground” of sorts, in a community full of people who can’t handle living in irl “mixed society.”

          In other words, they’re the only people willing to put up with similar behavior to their own I guess? This is all speculation, I haven’t seen what those instances look like these days and don’t really have any interest.

          That wasn’t clear to me.

          You can always check context before typing, just saying.

        The interesting part is not your personal opinion but the reasoning behind it.

        I have reasons for my position and layed them out. You disagree, and showed that much. I still have my reasons and can’t know yours, so your comment did not change anyones mind or advance the conversation in any way.
