    So am I looked differently because I happened to join .ml instead some other instance? I was at first at different one, but lost my login and hadn’t used an email when signing up so I had to create another one. I just chose one instance randomly and it happened to be ml. I’m I fucked?

      not really, but .ml kinda has a bad recognition due to numerous issues with some people on it

      Sort of a guilt by association thing. The .ml instance is also defederated from some other instances because of this. I wouldn’t say you’re fucked but it was enough to get me to first switch instances and then switch platforms to Mbin entirely because I found out the main devs for Lemmy are also admins for the .ml.

      I think most people would probably be understanding but some people will definitely make assumptions due to the instance names. I would be more worried about the admins messing with my posts or banning me because they didn’t like something I said. Hexbear is another would I would recommend avoiding, not sure if their domain got banned or what but they were very unpopular amongst most of the instances because of extremist shit.

      Edit: lol, tankies mad
