I mean I notice people like that but I never really pay attention to what instance they're from. They're usually a minority in any post I see anyways though and are being downvoted a bunch. Most of the time I see lots of fairly progressive people or at worst people who were supporting Biden unconditionally and trying to call anyone who pointed out any problems with him bots. Maybe it's cause I'm still using Lemmy mostly like I used reddit and treating it as one unified platform instead of a bunch of smaller connected ones. But personally I'd prefer being on an instance that allows me to connect to as many other instances as possible cause personally I don't want some admin team telling me who I can and can't interact with, I'd much rather just pick communities I like no matter what instance they're on that I like and trust the communities more with the moderation. I'd rather handle blocking instances and communities myself rather then leaving it in the hands of admins that could power trip. Again maybe that's just my mindset from Reddit, personally I've enjoyed Lemmy so far and haven't really noticed any problems on world.

Right well the only issue with world in that case is that other instances defed from it, so you do have admins telling you what you're not allowed to see, but you're unaware of it because you're cut off from them.

Like I said, I tend to attract that sort of person just by saying things they don't like and I've noticed a pattern. Some other instances have noticed that pattern too which is why they defedded.
