On those posts about people complaining (mostly in c/unpopularopinion) that lemmy isn’t all that different from reddit, instance infighting is one truly unique thing from the fediverse.

On the bright side, none of the instance owners have the kind of monopolistic power Reddit has. Plus, unlike the average Redditor, the average Lemming has already switched platforms at least once and is a lot more ready to switch again.

Ya, the tribalism is much more intense, probably because we all have the @instance next to our name. I cringe so hard when I see people say shit like "typical .ml user" and the like. Most people just join an instance randomly, it's not like there's a political pledge they make you sign when you do or something. I do think this current situation is kind of fucked up tho.
