    Lol I love that SJW is listed as right wing for not explicitly being anticapitalist. Gave me a good laugh.

      Was it exploding heads?

      Believe so. Fuck them though, they don’t even deserve to have their name written in the meme.

        There was Wolfballs, which started out as a right-leaning free speech instance, but was obviously quickly overrun by trolls and fascists, so everyone defederated them and the owner decided to shut it down. As a result all the problematic people including the mods from Wolfballs moved to Exploding-Heads, which welcomed them with open arms despite also not being originally a pure right-wing instance. And yeah obviously they got defederated as well then…

      Whenever I see the admins post, it’s always with charts and details that I don’t generally see (or at least, don’t generally notice) from other instances.

      At least at the start, the instance was mostly networking and sysadmin nerds. During reddit’s APIocalypse, our admin started up the server and put up a detailed post about the hardware, infrastructure and benchmarking everything. Stuff like that is what drew me and many others to this instance.

        My recollection of “the lore” is that the admin already owned “itjust.works” and thought “sh” would be a funny subdomain for hosting lemmy. I think the sjw initialism is just a coincidence.
