Ha, fair enough. I won’t say you are wrong about someone doing that. My observation has been:

1. Lemmy has vanishingly few people who are actually racist/transphobic/in favor of genocide/whatever
2. Lemmy has a ton of people who are convinced that those people are all over the place, and devote a really substantial amount of mental energy into trying to find something they can misinterpret as being one of those things and then go on the attack (also periodically assuring one another that there are definitely a ton of those people all over the place, and attacking them to each other)

My advice would be to avoid the places where group 2 likes to congregate, because they tend to be silly places that will give people a distorted view of what’s real after a while.
