Yes, people say mean things on the internet. That's never going away. Teach your children how to deal with it.
I don't think that Nazi shit or promotion of terrorism falls under "mean things on the internet" that would be over-trivializing, and I do say that because I have indeed seen many people doing these things in my years on Steam, as well as encouraging violence towards me for being a girl and having "used to have been a boy" (being transgender).
are they "mean things" and are they on the internet? If so it's mean things on the internet, this doesn't mean it won't cause IRL damage, but until it transitions from hateful words to actionable threats it's just an occupational hazard of the internet.
You may have picked the wrong instance then, because as the blahaj.zone instance admin, I actively remove "mean things". Words designed to harm others, whether it's bigotry, or harassment or insults, are not an "occupational hazard", they undermine the community and hurt folk when they're vulnerable.
Hateful words will get you banned here, and apologism for them and downplaying their impact is not welcome.
