  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 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.

  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

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

  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.
