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?

Many Lemmy users are quick to judge users based on instances. Heck some of them are defederated.

To me, no. There are some who see .ml or dbzero and will act accordingly.

What is the stereotype about dbzero? Out of the loop on that.

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.

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..

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".

That's the first offensive stereotype I've heard of .ee.
I picked it because of uptime, version parity and least amount of federation drama.

I dont look at instance first or judge people from the instance. But if I see a super tankie take and then I see its .ml instance I am like yep figures.

I have both left and right leaning political ideologies, and .world people like to call me a .ml troll

People who think .ml is tankie aren't federated with Lemmygrad or Hexbear

.ml is considered 'Tankie'?? First I've heard of this, and I've yet to see anything that would give any kind of credence to that claim. How weird...

Instances over time coalesce into certain ideological stances, a curious aspect of federation it seems. This absolutely has an impact on interaction.

Other instances leaning even harder into being tankie doesn't keep .ml from being tankie.

I'd say blahaj users are biased against .ml users
Which is right in line with how historically both the Right and the Left have failed miserably at LGBTQ+ representation and rights.
The militant left of the past was still steeped in machismo and as such, in places like Cuba, being homosexual or transgender was punishable by law until the late 1990's. The social ostracism runs deep when it is politically/legally enforced so long. It is finally changing for the better.
China is also the Left, and they have a similarly long history of denying LGBTQ+ rights, although to be fair they are slowly getting better in some ways.
It can make folks in the LGBTQ+ community feel like they're political pawns on a chessboard, to be used and discarded at will because the leaders of the movements see them as useful but expendable.
Feeling like you're expendable politically sucks, as does feeling like your just a pawn in someone else's game. There's a reason they called it "Rainbow Capitalism" when companies would hype Pride month and then forget about them the rest of the year.
For current evidence even more "liberal" companies are dropping anything and everything to do with LGBTQ+ rights and representation. Google was definitely seen as a forward-thinking progressive company for a long time, and they've already dropped Pride Month from Google Calendar. They have plenty of LGBTQ+ employees, and they're happy to throw them under the bus.
I would like to say the Left is slowly getting better at this, but it's still taking far too long. People's lives are being wasted waiting for people to respect their rights.

Neutral is the more offensive stereotype
just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal. -
