    Yes, I “know” him. Masterofballs was the administrator of a right-wing instace (wolfballs) - it was the predecessor of exploding-heads.com. He was very active in the Lemmy community, and contributed to the development to an extent. Eventually he was banned from lemmy.ml, possibly due to user pressure, and later on closed his instance to focus on other projects. I disagree with Masterofballs in pretty much all political issues, as I am much more aligned with ‘left-leaning’ policies and he is more aligned with ‘right-leaning’. I am also not a ‘free-speech’ absolutist like he is, nowhere near that! But we do share in common our interest for decentralized social networks.

    https://slrpnk.net may be a reasonable alternative for some of us who are closer to the intersection of nature, science, sustainability, and decentralisation of power and wealth.

    Thank you for that suggestion! I have checked, and they do block exploding-heads. I think https://slrpnk.net is a great alternative to those looking for an alternative tech-related community that has a slightly more strict federation policy, but is still very open.

    As I have said in other comments before, if someone wants to create a science-based instance that has a more strict policy, I am more than happy to help.
