does lemmy discriminate community against instances?
-
haha are you saying "maybe slightly more right leaning" is an offensive stereotype?
Like goddamnit there's no way for me to be associated with anything with the r word

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 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...

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 wish that’s what it was

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 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.

.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...
.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.

During kamala shill op on here, I had accounts have a melt down because I was on mbin... Not really sure why. As if being non Lemmy explained why I didn't accept her appointment by DNC komisars

Lemmy platform is a commie social media, most have commie takes. The reactionaries just stand out

As I said, I don’t personally agree with it. That’s why it’s in quotes.

This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as I’d like to not be associated with genocide.

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.
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.

Somewhat. If a .ml user says something kinda sus you'll get "of course this tankie shit is from an .ml user," and the .ml users (and other tankies) hate .world and sjw for being "liberal nazis."
Hexbear and .grad users are almost universally annoying shitheads you want to avoid, they center their identities around being insufferable so it's funny they don't like when you say it, but it's true. Cue DVs from angry .ml and hexbear users, grad can't see me though since we're defederated, but they'll get me with their .ml alts lmao.
Db0 are mostly pirates and anarchists, they vary more but mostly cool. .ee seems cool, and then there's the germans and the Uks and stuff. Basically everyone but .ml, hex, grad, .world, and sjw just "are."
OH but beehaw is overly cautious about niceties, and blahaj will defend drag (the person), not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just the way they do business. Ok I think that about covers it.

Yay, my somewhat randomly chosen people

No, I understand that. I was just commenting on how weird it is that some people would take that position when there's no evidence that I can see that it's actually true. No worries, my friend!

sdf users seem to pop up with lots of self made content. Which is really awesome.
