Standalone Instance If Your Interested In Joining
We are NOT federated with the rest of lemmy The reason is safety issues when it comes to weirdos posting disgusting crap and it’s just chilling on your server.
Our admin team doesn’t want that liability.
One advantage with no federation is that we welcome you to post content you’ve created. Like memes or funny videos.
As long as you’re chill, posting in the appropriate community, we’re not going to lay the hammer on you. Or take down your post over dumb stuff.
Lastly, you should join our Instance if you feel your values align with ours. It’s important to note that we understand that at the end of the day, lemmy is just a hobby.
We don’t have a desire to be, we’ll, tyrants. People disagree, and we get that. Not everyone thinks the same or believes the same things. That’s just the truth.
We’re just regular people like anybody else and want a place where we can actually be ourselves and not walk on eggshells.
If you feel we might be a fit for you, feel free to sign up or message me with any questions.
Also, we understand the appeal that federation has for some folks. I’m not trying to push the idea that being standalone is better. If that’s not for you
We totally get that and hope you find a lemmy server that better suits your needs.
Thank you for your time
you should join our Instance if you feel your values align with ours
It would help if you defined those values.
Noo waaay… a standalone instance goin’ about it there own way?!

Not sure why people would choose a federating platform and them not federate. Just use phpbb and stfu about it.
Isolated from federation is a personal dealbreaker (though I’m aware of its many difficulties), but I wish you success in creating a vibrant community based on your philosophy.
Overall sounds like a laissez-faire approach to moderation: though I’d be interested to hear more specifically on your values and philosophy that guides you.
Beehaw is an example of a well-defined philosophy and its similarity to your potential server appears to be a holistic approach to moderation. Still, there are many people who get upset on forums and think that Beehaw’s moderation actions are too harsh and there’s no such thing as “free speech” on that (or frankly any Lemmy) community. I found that most people banned due to somewhat toxic behaviour were given ample warnings.
Have a look at the stuff @gaywallet@beehaw.org has written at great length on the philosophies, and principles Beehaw was founded on, and important discussions that have come up when it comes to fostering a community with that in mind.
You can use it to determine whether you are aiming for that kind of place minus the federation, or key value differences or areas you think better match your ethos.
Just don’t post about it in the fediverse community. Damn hypocrites.
finally, a lemmy instance which tolerates the posting of memes

Why would anyone want to view ‘disgusting’ and ‘unmoderated’ content?
So what is it you feel the need to “walk on eggshells” about? Are you into fascism? Bestiality? Racism? Are you Moonies? Bitcoin enthusiasts? 7th-day Adventists? C’mon, give us a hint.
Maybe they are all of those things.
I kinda want to know what a Moonie is, but I’m going to choose to believe it’s someone who believes the Nazis have colonized the dark side of the moon and are growing genetically engineered dinosaurs.
