Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here?

  The votes are federated. A CCP critic post by a LW user in an LW community can be up/downvoted by users on any instance that LW is federating with, including tankie-heavy flagship instance lemmy.ml.

    Wasn’t there a list somewhere where you could see with which instances an instance was federated?

      Add /instances at the end of your instance’s URL.

  I don’t know of you’re aware yet, but the fediverse discerns between two different types of content: local and federated. Local content is hosted on your instance, lemmy.world. Federated content is hosted on another instance and federated with your server. You can distinguish between the two (on the web client) by checking if the community/thread/user has an @[instance] behind it. My guess would be that you stumbled into a @lemmy.ml community. There you’ll find a rigorously enforced “alternative” world view, as you decribed.

  .world has a solid segment of unthinking leninist. Who substitute theory for thought. There isn’t an overarching ideology imposed on .world however. So you will find plenty anarchist/communist, democratic socialist, and even liberals too. But many of the leninist are very online and much more organized in imposing their dogma. Much to the detriment of discussion and the fediverse as a larger entity. A number of their politics specific instances are defederated from many exactly because they were known for brigading discussions. And while it can no longer be done directly from those instances. They still use accounts on other instances including .world.
