I was recently talking to some friends about Lemmy and the whole Fediverse idea, as it seemed like a really cool part of the Internet. As I was talking about it, though, I realized how unusually friendly this whole place is, and I joked that I "surprisingly haven't found any bigotry."

I'm wondering if anyone has come across that, by any chance. If it's rare, my guess is that even though it's decentralized, each instance has a set of rules and values that are shared throughout the Fediverse, and I'm guessing it's easy to defederate with any seedy communities haha.

Maybe that's why I'm enjoying lemmy more: No access to reports and removed comments.

It's interesting, we've got blahaj.zone itself, and even though it doesn't have as many users as our lemmy instance, we're lucky if we see a report every couple of days over there.

The microblogging fediverse is more aggressively opposed to queerphobic bigots I think, so they never get a chance to take root over there, but here on the threadiverse, lots of them fly under the radar of admins that aren't the targets of their bigotry

General note: as a mod and admin who may not know what to look for, please flag these posts and comments so that we can review.

Yes, this.

As the sole admin on a [very] small instance I've seen had no reports, and the only thread that I did see getting toxic it was shut down by both the users and then the mods.

I guess, mostly sub'd to tech type communities there is less opportunity for open hatred.

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, is there a good community like r/twoxchromosomes that doesn't mind a [almost] 50 y/o straight guy lurking?
