I think some people are too quick to judge a whole instance based on a few interactions.
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".
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.
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.
They just hate we're right all the time.
They hate us cuz they aint us 🤷
Hexbear still is a thing, not sure what you're referring to.
Hexbear.net doesn't seem to exist anymore?
It redirects to chapo.chat, there are some domain shenanigans going on but the people are still there and actively posting.
That's new, it wasn't doing that before. That's going to cause a failure to federate
For now. There were domain issues and that's being worked on, chapo.chat is a workaround.
Sure but there's no federation unless you use the original domain
Yes, for now.
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"
I left once they started curating & collating lists of known prolific tankies so that they could share them amongst each other to tag each one every time they encountered them on Lemmy.
Hexbear.net doesn't seem to be registered anymore
It redirects to chapo.chat for me but still has banners and posts that call it hexbear
They lost their domain and federation went with it for now, until they get a new domain
That will break federation
Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.
Apparently as another poster pointed out hexbear.net isn't there, or rather it redirects to chapo.chat when I checked it just now. No idea why they'd think that means it's dead though. I was just pointing out the defederation as a possible source of their confusion.
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..
Usually techie and anarchist-adjacent, pro-piracy as well, generally anti-Marxist but usually more focused on being anti-Capitalist.
Anti Marxist but also anti Capitalist? How does that even work?
Anarchism is a strain of anti-capitalist thinking that normally rejects some or most of Marxism, dbzer0 tends to more often fall into the category of rejecting Marxism and being hostile towards AES, from interactions I have had. I am not going to say it's a rule, just what I encounter most frequently.
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.
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.
Yes. They literally make memes about instances they despise and how they won't take anyone from those instances seriously.
Preface to say I don’t necessarily hold these views, just my observation:
.ml is considered “tankie”
Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented
.world is “neutral,” 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 ¯\(ツ)/¯ 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 don’t know much
I’m sure there’s others I’m missing/stereotypes I’m wildly wrong about or not yet informed but that’s what I’ve gleaned so far.
.world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances
Nah, .world is the right wing instance, and also pretty defed happy
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).
.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...
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.
.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 I’d like to not be associated with genocide.
