What
I want to be discriminated against from my own merits and not whatever instance I chose. I was originally posting out of Mastodon anyways.
I think some people are too quick to judge a whole instance based on a few interactions.
Personally I don't notice it or care at all. People get way too bogged down in stuff like that, making presumptions or ascribing views to people. I'm here for funny and interesting shit, nothing else.
yes, it's basic tribalism
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 blocked the communities that are the hot button issues for that instance because other communities are worth reading and interacting with.
