    .ml, lemmygrad and hexbear are three Lemmy instances known for hosting mostly users with socialist viewpoints, many of them appreciating Actually Existing Socialist states. Hexbear is mostly defederated because it has a strict policy of protection of its 50%ish trans userbase against transphobia, whereas .ml is mostly federated as a major instance.

    There are frictions between non-socialists in other instances and socialists in those three instances, because politics is a complicated topic that reasonably makes people passionate and emotional.

      Thanks, that’s a good explanation. Had no clue the difference between instances was big as most is federated.
