Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca are defederated from them. .ca is Canada based (if you didn’t guess)
I have an account on both those, then an account on .ml and hexbear.
I created the Hexbear one recently as I wanted to be able to avoid their community when I wished but also learn about their community so I could get a greater understanding of it. They restrict to only upvotes and no downvotes which ensures more commenting when you disagree on something (which can be good or bad). They seem to be an outspoken, energetic group which is what made me not want to just dismiss them completely. I agree with them on a few things, and other things I obviously will be at odds. Then again I have a minor in Cultural Anthropology so maybe learning about them draws my interests differently than it might others.
