Does the instance a user is on (visible after their username) affect how they are perceived, either positively or negatively, by you or others?

    They’re defederated on .world and probably some other lib instances. I moved to ml because I didn’t like the vibe on world, especially their rabid obsession with “tankies”

      Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.

        Apparently as another poster pointed out hexbear.net isn’t there, or rather it redirects to chapo.chat when I checked it just now. No idea why they’d think that means it’s dead though. I was just pointing out the defederation as a possible source of their confusion.

      I left once they started curating & collating lists of known prolific tankies so that they could share them amongst each other to tag each one every time they encountered them on Lemmy.
