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.

    Yes, I discussed with an andrew tate fan that asked “why do people get angry when I don’t respect pronouns of trans people” or something to that effect, a real shit stain but I think he got banned after a few hours

      Good on the mods’ part for banning him. Andrew Tate fans are so hard to deal with, hoping that guy snaps out of it.
