Comment on I'm new around here, and learning about all the different instances and the culture/history behind them has been fun but overwhelming. Is there somewhere I could go for a crash-course?

There’s three factions.

On the liberal instances, you can easily get banned for questioning the USAGM script and saying anything positive about Bad Country (For instance, perceiving and mentioning anything ever happening in Ukraine before February 2022)

The ideological opponent is the ML instances. The most likely reason to get banned on these instances is doing racist dog whistles, even ones that are traditionally tolerated in the west. A common pastime is liberal posters coming to the ML instances and posting the most insane mask-off fascist takes and getting banned, then starting drama posts in the several comms they have for this purpose

The anarchist instances are (unsurprisingly) less in ideological lockstep. The interesting thing that can happen is getting banned for hating on AI too much
