they’re not all strictly that way, db0 is one of the few that is (you have to be a leftist to join, it was a part of the application)
.world is known as primarily liberal but I think that’s just due to the fact that it’s the largest and the majority of users are left in the American sense (center right)
.ml and hexbear are probably explicitly “communist”, haven’t given them enough attention to be certain but all of their users are tankies
lemmy.blahaj.zone is primarily (strictly?) trans, leans left in the actual sense but that’s not the point of the instance
lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, programming.dev don’t seem to have official political leanings but I might be wrong about that. haven’t looked into it.
id say the biggest concern about the instance you pick is that [email protected] is blocked to all .world users. that’s the main reason I ended up making this account and abandoning the .world account I had been using since apipocalypse
Honestly I didn’t think anything of it when I joined back then, I just made a couple of accounts to check them out. Didn’t write anything political in my application either, I’m pretty sure.
Thanks for the explanation, though. Nice overview. It’s good to know!
Yeah I prefer it be not divided that way TBH because you end up with possible campaigns to de-federalize succeeding in the future. Federation is generally a good idea though.
Huh. Made this account long ago when first API issues started in reddit, and didn’t know each instance was divided by political orientation.
Luckily we’re all federated so it makes no real difference I guess.
