i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

I agree with you, my point is that many other people don’t, and instead get very aggressive and resort to name calling or petty insults.
And I won’t lie, I’m not perfect and this sometimes happens to me, but never when someone is actually arguing in good faith, only as a response to someone already doing that or if their opinion is extreme (for example if they advocate racist ideas).
Well you can’t control what other say, the only option is to ignore or tell them they’re rude.
And I’d argue an extreme position isn’t necessarily morally repugnant, and likewise racism is necessarily extreme. For example usury is a Christian sin, and having that crime abolished would achieve a moral good but it is an extreme position.
Btw I haven’t looked at many of your comments, so I can’t work out whether you’re a centrist (who calls positions outside the overton window extreme), or if you’re broadly a left-liberal euphemistically calling racism extreme.
