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

I think some users who use the fediverse a lot may judge on instance. I don’t really, except sometimes when I see a reactionary comment from .world and I’m like, “yeah that checks out”.
Yep. I don’t judge a comment before reading it, but there are a couple of instances where I will think “yeah, not surprised” after reading a reactionary or low-quality post.
I think some people are too quick to judge a whole instance based on a few interactions.
To me, no. There are some who see .ml or dbzero and will act accordingly.
What is the stereotype about dbzero? Out of the loop on that.
Usually techie and anarchist-adjacent, pro-piracy as well, generally anti-Marxist but usually more focused on being anti-Capitalist.
Anti Marxist but also anti Capitalist? How does that even work?
Anarchism is a strain of anti-capitalist thinking that normally rejects some or most of Marxism, dbzer0 tends to more often fall into the category of rejecting Marxism and being hostile towards AES, from interactions I have had. I am not going to say it’s a rule, just what I encounter most frequently.
Full of pirates. Yar harr and ‘fuck you I will download a car you stupid DVD preamble.’
If you dont nail it down they’ll pirate it from you 🏴☠️
Why can’t the nails be pirated?
Are you kidding? The nails are also pirates!
We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort-of-executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two thirds majority, in the case of more major…
I wish that’s what it was
Hey! I thought I had it this week.
yoho!
Mate!
Instances over time coalesce into certain ideological stances, a curious aspect of federation it seems. This absolutely has an impact on interaction.
On the other hand, some have explicit ideological positions or themes (e.g. lemmygrad.ml, slrpnk.net) and others are shaped by moderation (.ml taking a hard stance against the sinophobia normal in mainatream media, .world and a few other instances/staff banning comments making light of violence e.g. luigi)
This accelerates that process, for sure! I am more talking about how long-term, users tend to form more similar views. If you join an instance and another better fits your views, users tend to jump ship.
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. They literally make memes about instances they despise and how they won’t take anyone from those instances seriously.
I’m agreeing with all the people who say they don’t notice until after they’ve read a post, but I wanted to add a Yo ho! to my comment.
Meh. There are so many instances that I don’t really judge someone by what instance they’re on; I judge someone based on what they do.
yes, it’s basic tribalism
Many Lemmy users are quick to judge users based on instances. Heck some of them are defederated.
I just did my own instance with blackjack, hookers and crack.

I keep seeing so much stuff against .ml and I’m just like, I picked it because it was basically the only really active one when I first joined…
Removed by mod
Lemmy platform is a commie social media, most have commie takes. The reactionaries just stand out
The honest majority of users on any instance seem to get drowned by the noisiest few
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.
I want to be discriminated against from my own merits and not whatever instance I chose. I was originally posting out of Mastodon anyways.
Yeah, some people really fucking hate .ml folks, and I’ve even heard people shit talk sh.itjust.works.
Also, hexbear was a thing.
They just hate we’re right all the time.
They hate us cuz they aint us 🤷
Hexbear still is a thing, not sure what you’re referring to.
They’re defederated on .world and probably some other lib instances. I moved to ml because I didn’t like the vibe on world, especially their rabid obsession with “tankies”
Hexbear.net doesn’t seem to be registered anymore
It redirects to chapo.chat for me but still has banners and posts that call it hexbear
They lost their domain and federation went with it for now, until they get a new domain
That will break federation
I left once they started curating & collating lists of known prolific tankies so that they could share them amongst each other to tag each one every time they encountered them on Lemmy.
Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.
Apparently as another poster pointed out hexbear.net isn’t there, or rather it redirects to chapo.chat when I checked it just now. No idea why they’d think that means it’s dead though. I was just pointing out the defederation as a possible source of their confusion.
Hexbear.net doesn’t seem to exist anymore?
It redirects to chapo.chat, there are some domain shenanigans going on but the people are still there and actively posting.
That’s new, it wasn’t doing that before. That’s going to cause a failure to federate
For now. There were domain issues and that’s being worked on, chapo.chat is a workaround.
Sure but there’s no federation unless you use the original domain
Yes, for now.
literally I just chose this instance because I like the seal, I hate tribalism I just wanted a cute seal 😭😭
I chose it because shit never just works - and I’m a techie person.
Same, brother.
