does lemmy discriminate community against instances?

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

Preface to say I don’t necessarily hold these views, just my observation:

.ml is considered “tankie”

Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented

.world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances (I joined this one bc I was brand new here and it seemed beginner friendly, but I lean further left so ¯\(ツ)/¯ may instance hop in the future)

Lemm.ee runs similar to .world but maybe slightly more right leaning

Sh.it.justworks is predominantly techie

Sopuli.xyz seems primarily meme-centric

Feddit.org seems neutral-ish and more EU based, beyond that don’t know much

I’m sure there’s others I’m missing/stereotypes I’m wildly wrong about or not yet informed but that’s what I’ve gleaned so far.
- .world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances
  
  Nah, .world is the right wing instance, and also pretty defed happy
- That's the first offensive stereotype I've heard of .ee.
  
  I picked it because of uptime, version parity and least amount of federation drama.
  
  Same.
  
  haha are you saying "maybe slightly more right leaning" is an offensive stereotype?
  
  Neutral is the more offensive stereotype :) just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal.
  
  Like goddamnit there's no way for me to be associated with anything with the r word
- People who think .ml is tankie aren't federated with Lemmygrad or Hexbear
- Where did you get the impression that Lemm.ee is (more) right-leaning?
  Lemm.ee does not really have a leaning (in the fediverse).
  
  Lemm.ee has awesome uptime, hands of moderation, up to date Lemmy, and doesn't defedarate (we live in the glorious age of Lemmy 19 and not in the dark ages anymore; the user can block stuff).
  
  It may be due to the “conservative” comm on the instance. I’m still learning, of course.
  
  Both c/conservative on Lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are currently unmoderated (no community moderators).
  The one community moderator on .ee got banned for some Nazi shit.
  Now in both communities there is lots of love for trans people🏳️‍⚧️
