does lemmy discriminate community against instances?

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...
-
haha are you saying "maybe slightly more right leaning" is an offensive stereotype?
-
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. -
Like goddamnit there's no way for me to be associated with anything with the r word
-
I keep seeing so much stuff against .ml and I'm just like, I picked it because it was basically the only really active one when I first joined...
-
I wish thatās what it was
-
I don't actively discriminate based on a poster's instance, but there are a half dozen or so instances where there is a very high likelihood that they lean one way or another on different topics. If a post that could be read two ways then their instance can be a pretty reliable indicator that looking at their posting history will confirm which way they lean.
In a couple of cases I just avoid the communities that are the hot button issues for that instance because other communities are worth reading and interacting with.
-
Yes. They literally make memes about instances they despise and how they won't take anyone from those instances seriously.
-
.world considers .ml tankie and .world is not a neuteal instsnce unless you never mention palestine. So it's a lot like reddit.
-
-
Personally I don't notice it or care at all. People get way too bogged down in stuff like that. I'm here for funny and interesting shit, nothing else.
-
The honest majority of users on any instance seem to get drowned by the noisiest few
-
Not really. Most users on most platforms are just users. I give kudos to those instances that have unique names and < 10 users.
