So... I'm being judge because the instance I choose? (lemmy.ml)

When I signed up for Lemmy, I didn't know about some wars that existed between instances, and when I chose lemmy.ml I thought, “Why not?”. Tbh, dont think too much about instances.

I signed up because I wanted to get the full Lemmy experience, but I don't know if some instances block the instance I'm connected , and this is a bit confusing for me. At the beginning, when I joined Lemmy, I remember reading that it is advisable to choose the instance carefully, and I even assume that it was my mistake, but I think it could be a little easier for those who enter the fediverse. I guess. Know nothing at this time.

So, the question is there. Do you judge members by instance? I'm just a normal guy; I don't like the extreme right or extreme communism. In fact, I think all extremism is stupid. But , if you could enlighten me on this, I would appreciate it.

At this point, I don't know if I'm blocked by some instances or not. Basically, I want to enjoy having the entire Lemmy experience, where I could read all types of content.

EDIT: during this time, maybe some people judge members because the instance. And I dont like that feel if someone think "oh look this dude, is from lemmy.ml, he is extremist communist, for sure". However, I'm not. Im just a normal guy without any politic side.

I have never once looked at a user's instance.

There probably are some people who do, just like how there are people who will judge you based on what brand of pants you wear, but most people are just glad that you're wearing pants.

I did before .world degenerated from .LemmyGrad. Other than that, it's not something I care about

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

lol, I'm not sure if that's a typo or not.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're not wearing pants, are you?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Right now, I am, but no promises after I get out of work.

I mean, after basically every second comment I saw from hexbear was tankie nonsense I definitely started judging them differently. They're extremists who seem to want to turn everything into a debate. So I made sure to block them. Most instances are fine though, and are indeed not that different than the brand of pants someone wears: not something I really care about.
