No. I had no idea about this instance's reputation when I joined Lemmy but it's nothing like the other instance you mentioned.

It gets very tiring trying to have a conversation with contrarians who think everything Western is bad and anything Chinese/USSR is good. Or worse, that their highly suspicious news sources (some random blog usually) are telling you the real truth, while using any mainstream news media source makes you a deluded Lib

Yes, I imagine it would be tiring if anyone actually argued that. Since it's a ridiculous strawman though, I think you're in the clear

everything Western is bad

This one simple trick does get you 99% of correct though
