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.

Jeez, lots of comments to look through! I'll definitely take a peek some more but a pattern that I've noticed from the few comments I've skimmed through is that it seems like a lot of toxic people do show up, it's just that individual instances are good at removing them.

I also haven't been on Lemmy as much as I was on Reddit before I left, and I'm on a fairly small instance, so I guess that explains the lack of bigotry in my feed haha.

I haven't had a really bad experience yet. There was one guy who seemed to be making some kind of racist point but that's about it.

Plenty, since the overwhelming majority of it is a massive leftist circle jerk that isn't fond of people dissenting.

You are confused. What you are doing isn't "dissenting" so much as it's spouting absolute bullocks. You are doing the online equivalent of smearing your shit on the walls because you once heard someone else say that's a valid form of expression.

You keep posting the same ignorant bullshit over and over again, even after people explain just how ignorant your logic really is.

You can only claim "leftist brigading" when you are able to respond to your critics with verifiable facts to support your position. Until then, you are talking absolute bullshit.

Lmao talk about verifiable facts when you losers aren't just spouting whatever unhinged garbage your propaganda networks feed you

I received a couple of "fucking racist" from a person because I said in a post that immigration to rich countries should be controlled i.e. borders cannot just be opened and let everyone move anywhere, or else their economy and social situation could be affected

Personally I prefer a bit of conflict as it encourages discussion and alternate opinions. The discussions are pretty short when everyone agrees.

This place is the most elitist/arrogant place i seen, even worse than reddit. Especially it could be seen during recent discussion about threads/facebook.
