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 want to be discriminated against from my own merits and not whatever instance I chose. I was originally posting out of Mastodon anyways.

    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.

      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).

    Yeah, some people really fucking hate .ml folks, and I’ve even heard people shit talk sh.itjust.works.

    Also, hexbear was a thing.

    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.
