A refugee from reddit like a lot of others I guess. I registered to .world because it was open and .ml was kinda full. Now as the dust of mass migration starts to settle the leanings of different lemmy instances are becoming clearer. The fact that lemmygrad is just straight out batshit /r/Donald was pretty obvious right away. The fact that .ml passes downvotes to the CCP social score system was not. Federation starts to dissolve into islands of let's call them "interests". Two questions come to mind:

Is there an overview of what instance is federated with what instance? A reason for defederation would be nice too.
Is there one place where I can check moderation policy for this particular instance? Two of the instances I came across turned out to have "leanings" as already mentioned. May I cautiously ask what "leaning" if applicable I might encounter here?

The fact that .ml passes downvotes to the CCP social score system was not.

How?

EDIT: It's hilarious how it's been 2 hours and my question is still unanswered. It's blatant libel at this point.

That's an obvious irony. It's not meant literally. But posts criticizing CCP are being deleted with a strange comment "orientalism" which I personally never came across before.
