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.

Same. I've seen only a few, but thankfully no one's been a douche to me (yet? Pls don't start lol). I'd imagine there are tons I haven't seen yet. When people moved from reddit, it wasn't exclusively just the good parts that came over. In my experience, though, it's a lot less than in reddit.
