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.
Ooooohh we’ve got plenty. lol
One thing about the Fediverse is its a little less “singular” so to speak. People spread out a little more, and you get fewer bigger places where a whole lot of people mingle.
The fascist kids and the tankie kids both have Instances of their own, fairly heavily defederated with a lot of the rest. They’re about as pleasant as you’d expect.
Rip, at least it’s easy to block them out.
