Does the instance a user is on (visible after their username) affect how they are perceived, either positively or negatively, by you or others?

    .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.

        No, I understand that. I was just commenting on how weird it is that some people would take that position when there’s no evidence that I can see that it’s actually true. No worries, my friend! :)
