I’ve been noticing a lot of back and forth between instances, changes of stances etc. I was wondering if there is any place that just collects what each instance represents from a philosophical perspective. This would be great in helping people choosing an instance before they join, or later if they want to switch to another instance.

    I feel as if such a ‘list’ being public would only create more strife between instances. Not EVERYONE from .ml is a tankie, some people didn’t know when they signed up and just never left as an example.

    It would also be massively biased to whomever maintains the list. Not sure I’d trust such a thing.

      It would likely be manually curated by an individual asking the people that run the instances. It would hopefully not be interpreted.

        I’m Sorry but philosophical perspectives can only be known through interpretation. Ask any two people what a communist is and you WILL get two different answers, obviously there will be many similarities between the two answers but the nuance will be different.

        All that being said…

        If this is something you really want, I’m sure it won’t be too hard to get ahold of the instance admins to get the answers you desire. And if you make a place, or community or website or whatever to host that information, we’ll, I’m sure it won’t be too hard.
