Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

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.

It’s not really surprising people are having problems with people on lemmy. For the first time in at least a decade we are in the Wild Wild West of a part of the internet. Things haven’t normalized themselves yet so shit is weird and sometimes unpleasant.

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.

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.
