Keeping things in their respective communities does help people filter what they want to see.

I, for one, like to see "haha that's funny" posts more than "oh look the bad guys are bad" posts, which is why I peruse this community and not political memes.

I'm not trying to minimod and create rules that don't exist in the community, though. I'm just expressing my opinion. You don't have to listen.

Also, what does this have to do with instance? Nothing's stopping you from posting on another instance's community, right? Federation is nice like that. Or did you mean that lemmy.ml is a political instance? If so, I didn't know that.

I always thought .ml meant or implied Marxism-Leninism. The site I'm viewing this from, hexbear.net, is basically a community of Marxist-Leninists. It's virtually all politics.

Technically correct. What I've read on the web in a few places is that the devs that created Lemmy chose the TLD because they were MLs.
