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".

MODERATORS
Yep. I don't judge a comment before reading it, but there are a couple of instances where I will think "yeah, not surprised" after reading a reactionary or low-quality post.
I just did my own instance with blackjack, hookers and crack.
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.
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..

yoho!
Mate!
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)
This accelerates that process, for sure! I am more talking about how long-term, users tend to form more similar views. If you join an instance and another better fits your views, users tend to jump ship.
Yes. They literally make memes about instances they despise and how they won't take anyone from those instances seriously.
Preface to say I donβt necessarily hold these views, just my observation:
-
.ml is considered βtankieβ
-
Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented
-
.world is βneutral,β and I think federated with most instances (I joined this one bc I was brand new here and it seemed beginner friendly, but I lean further left so Β―\(γ)/Β― may instance hop in the future)
-
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 donβt know much
Iβm sure thereβs others Iβm missing/stereotypes Iβm wildly wrong about or not yet informed but thatβs what Iβve gleaned so far.
.world is βneutral,β and I think federated with most instances
Nah, .world is the right wing instance, and also pretty defed happy
.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 neutral instance unless you never mention palestine. So it's a lot like reddit.
This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as Iβd like to not be associated with genocide.

While lemmy.ml isn't explicitly tankie like lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.chat, the fact that it's the instance run by the two OG Lemmy devs (who, along with most of the instance's admins, are Marxist Leninists) means you tend to get tankie friendly moderation. Most infamously, sinophobia is cracked down on, so shitlibs can't just go hog wild with stuff like Tinyman Square and "West Taiwan" and such.

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

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).

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.
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.
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"
Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.

Meh. There are so many instances that I don't really judge someone by what instance they're on; I judge someone based on what they do.
I have both left and right leaning political viewpoints, and .world people like to call me a .ml troll

Many Lemmy users are quick to judge users based on instances. Heck some of them are defederated.
Not really. Most users on most platforms are just users. I give kudos to those instances that have unique names and < 10 users. Or to sdf, those users are awesome.
yay thankies :3
