[.ml users] How would describe your instance? (lemmy.world)

I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

The stuff that gets banned on .world news gets posted to .ml news and the stuff that gets banned on .ml news gets posted to .world news.

You need both to get everything, otherwise you end up with too much of a bias from one instance.

honestly that's why i prefer .ml because then i can access the news megathreads on hexbear and grad, but still check in on what the lib narrative is too.

Why I chose it? I liked the general political leaning.

What could be better? The more nuanced political leanings.... I'm talking about the leftist infighting. I pissed off a ton of people, including myself, the last couple of times I commented on some posts. You say the wrong thing and you don't get polite discourse, you go straight to mudslinging. And yes I'm including myself in that.

It makes me want to interact with the instance less and less.
