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

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...

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

.world considers .ml tankie and .world is not a neutral instance unless you never mention palestine. So it's a lot like reddit.

This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as I’d like to not be associated with genocide.
