For me, it's out of sight out of mind.

Lemmy.ml is basically Lemmygrad trying to look more neutral, but actually is the same thing. That's why I block all lemmy.ml communities that I come across. As for users I might not inherently judge them, but I do keep a close eye on them in regards to potential political statements being made, because of how many of them I've seen making bad faith arguments, or straight up spread disinformation and other bullshit.
I don't block lemmy.ml communities, but if there are competing general-use communities (say, I dunno, gardening), and one is on lemmy.ml and one is somewhere else more-neutral, like lemmy.world, I'll join the lemmy.world community.
Yeah I made this account first before hopping to one more suited for me. Didnt turn out well there but generall if you're pretty new i imagine most people arent too attached to their instance
For the most part I judge communities based on their instance, not the people. I might be more inclined to block you if you can something sketchy but probably not. But if a server get super toxic/tankie, I may block the whole server. lemmy.ml isn't there yet.
Fuk em.
Edit: if people are judging you based off what server you are in, unless it is an openly hostile instance, their opinions are most likely not very valid.
what we forget is that on the internet, none of the opinions around here are relevant to our lives. (but still are valid). the only opinions we need worry about are with the people we form bonds with and create a community. and i guess on a small enough site like this one, you can do that by getting to know people, recognizing others usernames, learning about them as people.
why is everyone judging me for the people I choose to associate with?
lemmy.ml is not just far left, it´s full of fucking tankies. Because of that you might be considered a tankie when using an .ml account. I recommend making an account on a more neutral instance.
