MODERATORS
Actually makes sense, there are some takes skirting on the border here
I want to be discriminated against from my own merits and not whatever instance I chose. I was originally posting out of Mastodon anyways.
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.
Thank you : )
Yay, my somewhat randomly chosen people.
I didn't know that others knew about sdf
sdf users seem to pop up with lots of self made content. Which is really awesome.
Many Lemmy users are quick to judge users based on instances. Heck some of them are defederated.
During kamala shill op on here, I had accounts have a melt down because I was on mbin... Not really sure why. As if being non Lemmy explained why I didn't accept her appointment by DNC komisars
What
yes, it's basic tribalism
Personally I don't notice it or care at all. People get way too bogged down in stuff like that, making presumptions or ascribing views to people. I'm here for funny and interesting shit, nothing else.
I don't actively discriminate based on a poster's instance, but there are a half dozen or so instances where there is a very high likelihood that they lean one way or another on different topics. If a post that could be read two ways then their instance can be a pretty reliable indicator that looking at their posting history will confirm which way they lean.
In a couple of cases I just blocked the communities that are the hot button issues for that instance because other communities are worth reading and interacting with.
