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.
A comment on my other account got brigaded by tankies a while ago. Was told to “fuck off, liberal”
But then that guy got banned from the instance, and everything was good.
Hi, I’m not in in the know. What’s a tankie? Pardon my ignorance.
the leftist equivalent of an alt-right person i guess
