I'm pretty sure if we're excluding instances with troll farms or hosting illegal material, the map of Lemmy instances is still kind of a single amorphous blob, with nearly all connected instances being just 1 connection away from their blocked instances. These can't be defined as isolated instance-clusters. Lemmy.world users seem to always know what hexbear users are up to because of their federated neighbors, lol.

Nah, they think they know what hexbear users are up to because random folk make shit up and nobody calls them on it, because they're defederated.

PJ is kind of interesting, in that being anti-communist is a massive part of their reason to be on the fediverse, as a mod for 2 anti-communist communities and a prolific anti-communist poster. They denounce the Black Panther Party for being "violent" and supporting AES, but will uphold the Nazi-aligned Hungarian revolt, where Jewish people and Communists had their doors marked and were being lynched, as an example of "real revolution against the Soviets."

I once left a reasonable and non-hostile response to a post on tankiejerk and they removed it and permabanned me for being "tankie," lol.

The stuff random folk "make up" perfectly aligns with the experiences I had before I blocked them, so I have no reason to call them on it.
