I've seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.
if I remember correctly they were:
smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going "but you are from .world") (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the "puching nazis" theme)
one more which I can't remember.
Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?
I'd say the biggest criticism is that it's the largest instance, and is also a "general purpose" instance, which sort of takes away from the main goal of the fediverse. When 90% of content comes from one instance, it opposes the goal of decentralization.
I chose lemdro.id because it's nice and fast, the admins are very good, and its main topic is around technology/software which I like
