Infosec, really? I haven’t noticed that trend. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention to the user’s instance enough. I absolutely did notice the others you mentioned, though, but that may be because there are more bad eggs than good in those places lol
Comment on hexbear users are the rick and morty fanbase of lemmy instances

Virtually any time I get visiciously attacked by someone on Lemmy it’s almost exclusively someone from either Hexbear, Lemmygrad, blahaj or infosec.

I haven’t seen much extreme comments coming from infosec either.

I don’t remember having issues with anyone from there for a while but there was a time that there was several of them over a short period of time.

Later last year, I did notice an uptick in Lemmy hostility, across the board. It’s calmed down significantly, though, around January of this year or so. Now, I don’t know about the instances that my home instance blocks (hexbear being among them, thankfully). I’ve generally had good experiences with infosec users in the past, which is why I moved instances to here. Sorry that hasn’t been your experience; people can be assholes.

I’ve seen the db0 admins getting a little power trippy. Like instance ban for a conversation in a community on a different instance. Following all rules and being respectful the entire time. Im happy to respect the db0 rules and fedi sovereignty on their instance. I don’t think instance bans for off instance activities is right.

I mean, blahaj are understandably defensive; it’s a mostly gender fluid/trans instance and they are very much under the microscope right now. But yeah, your comment tracks <3

I’ve noticed that Lemmy and other alternative platforms tend to harbor extremes.

Still better than the typical crap you see on reddit. I hate to say it, but the influx of normal/trashy people is worse than the bots. Gimme someone with enough independent thought to consider themselves a third wave communist or whatever.

I imagine most people here are Reddit refugees, and I guess being that principled could be seen as a kind of extremism in itself. I don’t really consider myself the most non-confrontational person either.
