FBXL Social

Here's a list of lemmy and lotide instances that I've had good luck with. Unfortunately a lot of the main lemmy instances are highly censorship focused, these are instances that I've found seem kosher with open discussion without immediately throwing out diverse opinions.

That isn't to say that they're all full free speech havens, but I know for a lot of you guys like me, the main lemmy instances banning all wrongthink immediately destroyed any interest in the platform, but there are some good sites out there worth looking at.

wolfballs.com
exploding-heads.com
narwhal.city
mander.xyz
gtio.io
heapoverflow.ml
community.xmpp.net
slrpnk.net
federated.community
lemmy.otakufarms.com
community.hackliberty.org
nrsk.no
donky.social

And of course lotide.fbxl.net

The biggest thing we need in these communities is participation. There's quite a bit of activity in some of these communities, so they're worth taking a look at, especially since they're federated. You can subscribe to communities using mastodon/pleroma/soapbox by following community@site , but personally I think it makes more sense to have a separate account on lemmy or lotide since the form of discussion is so different. However you decide to participate, a lot of good folks are putting a lot of good work in on making that part of the fediverse something legitimately worth checking out at this point.
