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.

.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...

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As I said, I don’t personally agree with it. That’s why it’s in quotes.

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! :)
