  Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.

  For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.

    That explains why people have been hostile to me by default even though I presented a balanced front (in my eyes)

      Yahhhhh. It’s a rough situation to be a non tankie on a tankie instance.

      The issue is that the great majority of users there have very “out there” opinions and more and more of them are trying to be more subtle about it.

      
      Avg .ml user: Long winded post about why war is bad
      
      Avg responder: I agree war should be avoided for the harm it causes.
      
      Avg .ml user: Therefore we all must support Russia against the imperialist Ukrainians!
      
      Avg responder: Russia started the war. Why should we support them?
      
      Avg .ml user: Because NATO forced Russia to invade. In reality it was NATOs fault!
      
      Avg responder: I wasted my time here. No point in arguing.
      
      

      The average non .ml user has been through this or seen this enough to be cautious of seemingly reasonable balanced arguments from .ml users.

      I totally get staying, but personally if I woke up and my account was on .ml I would move.

    Ugh. This is still the issue with Lemmy, confusing instances, somewhat random federations, strong cultural differences.

    I used to like my instance but now it is done.

    Just constantly a mess to be social here.

    I have found blahaj to be… Exclusionary in the usual lgtqa ways.

      Man, if you feel excluded by shitposters on a website, imagine how excluded you would feel being lgbtqa in a country where 40% of people think you are an evil disgusting degenerate who will go to hell forever.

      Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.

        Which explains why they hate bi men, nonbinary folk and intersex people so persistently.
