If only .ml would label itself as explicitly political so that people knew what it was about rather than having to discover it the hard way...
Especially when browsing by All, and all the more so when the default setting of the most popular 3rd party apps actively hides the instance names, on both users and communities, it's really impossible to know unless you go tinkering with those settings to their non-default values.
It is very easy to forget what the experience looks like for a brand-new user of the Fediverse.
Ohhh, that is a top tier idea. Community note fediverse pi charts for content topic. Like steam tags.
PieFed allows for this already, though iirc the flagship instance PieFed.social chooses to put nothing for Lemmy.ml.
I always enjoy content on Beehaw. This is the note that appears on every single post in a community on that instance:
This post is hosted on beehaw.org which has higher standards of behaviour than most places. Be nice.
Notice how the link goes to Beehaw itself for additional details, to explain their policies in their own words.
I always found Lemmy.ml's own choice of words to describe themselves quite disingenuous though - as if it were merely FOSS or something being discussed, and as if nothing whatsoever related to politics exists, certainly nothing that might, oh I dunno, differ from their very narrow, highly specific viewpoint (which distinctly clashes with actual facts, e.g. video evidence of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, which tankies declare variously that it did not happen, or if it did happen then that there were no fatalities).
Hexbear at least is extremely open about how they exist for nothing more than the sake of arguments - that's arguably fine even, so long as it remains constrained inside the communities designated for such - where the members actually want it, i.e. consent should matter - rather than spilling out into every single other fucking community all across the Fediverse.
i've been fedi-curious for a while now and dragged my feet on the threadiverse for the longest time because my first impression of it was all the tankie stuff, i just assumed the whole thing was tankies and shuned the threadiverse entirely. after learning about piefed, and seeing discussions around lemmy in general, i realized it was more complicated and decided to give it a second chance via piefed. i've been relatively active for a few months now!
Welcome!
People should block users and instances that they dont want to see. They are in charge of their account. Then you wont have to feudpost about these people you blocked because you wont see them.

I barely ever see any such things on my feed. The most problematic users I've come across were from lemmy.world.
thank you for your virtue signaling!
Hay thats what I say about .world and pfied.
