does lemmy discriminate community against instances?
-
Does the instance a user is on (visible after their username) affect how they are perceived, either positively or negatively, by you or others?
I want to be discriminated against from my own merits and not whatever instance I chose. I was originally posting out of Mastodon anyways.

If you dont nail it down they'll pirate it from you
️Why can’t the nails be pirated?
-
Yeah, some people really fucking hate .ml folks, and I've even heard people shit talk sh.itjust.works.
Also, hexbear was a thing.
Hexbear still is a thing, not sure what you're referring to.
-
I think some users who use the fediverse a lot may judge on instance. I don't really, except sometimes when I see a reactionary comment from .world and I'm like, "yeah that checks out".
Yep. I don't judge a comment before reading it, but there are a couple of instances where I will think "yeah, not surprised".
-
Instances over time coalesce into certain ideological stances, a curious aspect of federation it seems. This absolutely has an impact on interaction.
On the other hand, some have explicit ideological positions or themes (e.g. lemmygrad.ml, slrpnk.net) and others are shaped by moderation (.ml taking a hard stance against the sinophobia normal in mainatream media, .world and a few other instances/staff banning comments making light of violence e.g. luigi)

Are you kidding? The nails are also pirates!

I'm agreeing with all the people who say they don't notice until after they've read a post, but I wanted to add a Yo ho! to my comment.

Preface to say I don’t necessarily hold these views, just my observation:
-
.ml is considered “tankie”
-
Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented
-
.world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances (I joined this one bc I was brand new here and it seemed beginner friendly, but lean further left so ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
-
Lemm.ee runs similar to .world but maybe slightly more right leaning
-
Sh.it.justworks is predominantly techie
-
Sopuli.xyz seems primarily meme-centric
-
Feddit.org seems neutral-ish and more EU based, beyond that don’t know much
I’m sure there’s others I’m missing/stereotypes I’m wildly wrong about or not yet informed but that’s what I’ve gleaned so far.
Where did you get the impression that Lemm.ee is (more) right-leaning?
Lemm.ee does not really have a leaning (in the fediverse).Lemm.ee has awesome uptime, hands of moderation, up to date Lemmy, and doesn't defedarate (we live in the glorious age of Lemmy 19 and not in the dark ages anymore; the user can block stuff).

They're defederated on .world and probably some other lib instances. I moved to ml because I didn't like the vibe on world, especially their rabid obsession with "tankies"

yes, it's basic tribalism
-
literally I just chose this instance because I like the seal, I hate tribalism I just wanted a cute seal
Same, brother.

I chose it because shit never just works - and I'm a techie person.

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort-of-executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two thirds majority, in the case of more major..
Looking forward to my rotation on 17-Jun-2036, comrade. Counting down the days!

Remember, this is .world saying it.
OP, your answer is in this thread
-
This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as I’d like to not be associated with genocide.
genocide by which side

Yea but that was always the case.
-
I have both left and right leaning political ideologies, and .world people like to call me a .ml troll
Actually makes sense, there are some takes skirting on the border here
-
That’s completely valid. Thank you for sharing; like I said I’m still relatively new so hearing insight from more established users helps a lot. You’d think the natural association would be basic fucking human rights = common sense leftism but that is unfortunately not the case for established leftist governments at the minimum. (Spoken as someone who, to my knowledge, aligns leftist/anarchist)
We have to have each others’ backs because “allyship” is a finicky bitch.
It's also an imperfect view, as @[email protected] said Cuba now has some of the best LGBT rights in the world. Social progress is very commonly accelerated in AES countries compared to Capitalist countries because society is oriented in a more cooperative manner. We can see this happen in real time in China, where the youth are far more socially progressive and perspective on LGBT issues is stratified more by generation than anything else. There's a long way to go, but progress is happening.
I do wonder what you mean by you aligning leftist/anarchist "to your knowledge," haha.
-
Not really. Most users on most platforms are just users. I give kudos to those instances that have unique names and < 10 users.
Thank you : )
