New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I'm newish to the fediverse. I'm digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter

I’m curious if people are sinophobic or anti Russian.

Some instances, notoriously lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, aggressively ban Sinophobia and Russophobia, so much that many visitors get banned without understanding how what they said was prejudiced (many of their prejudiced views are simply 'common sense' as a result of normal Western propaganda) and yell about the instances being Russian/Chinese genocidal propaganda. So if .world gives you trouble, these places could be worth considering.
