I noticed that there is a lot less hate against Indians on Lemmy (self.suddenrealization)

Being Indian, it was a constant source of annoyance for me how hating on India and Indians was normalized, and almost seen as cool on Reddit. I haven't seen it on Lemmy so far.

It was weird, since hating black people or asians was frowned upon (as it should be). But for some reason, Indians were fair game.

Gotta say, it feels better when people don't try to insult you for your identity. I never took them seriously, but it was very annoying indeed.

It's a safe assumption that people who've taken the effort of migrate to fediverse platforms are generally intelligent enough to not be prone to outbreaks of insensitivity. Also that they are mostly among those who seek something more in terms of discussion quality.

It's one of the pros of not being mainstream - you are much less likely to come across as much normie brigading.
