Criteria: I’m looking for instances that are defed’ with the Big 3 tankies (lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear). I have no interest in trying to persuade my friends to create an acc and set up instance blocks before diving in, or dealing with the feedback when they run into the tankie brigade.

Edit: lemmy.cafe and infosec.pub seem to fit. I also find it really interesting just how many of the replies totally ignored my stated criteria.

    I didn’t claim LW is the worst. As per my post, the worst offenders are hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. .world is not a monolith, and I have nothing major against the admins. I was specifically referring to the 3 news subs on .world as problematic.

      To be fair I was replying to a thread that said LW/ML are equal and something about fascism in LW.

      I just don’t think they are as problematic as you imply. Are there issues? Sure (I be have my own complaints), but generally those communities seem somewhat usable.
