I bet that dude said something racist and got dogpiled. I only see toxic comments on lemmy when I say something racist.

That's a fair point. While racism thrives in small communities where any rare truth gets downvoted, Lemmy's federation has made it almost impossible for racist communities to reach critical mass here.

As someone who browses /new, I've seen numerous times someone trashing Lemmy, and then 20 posts down I find they posted something incredibly stupid.
