There used to be Wolfballs, a right-wing Lemmy instance. I didn't browse much but there was definitely ample racism there.

MODERATORS
If I remember correctly, the admin (a US Lolbertarian) finally closed it down, among other reasons, when they realized the resident nazis there were not just joking to troll da libs and actually believed the things they were saying about 'jewish shapeshifters'. They wanted a free speech haven, and so they got the people we collectively told to shut up.
I did not see any racist comments for quite some time. But xenophobic comments were common on threads about Ukraineβs invasion.
The anti-French sentiment is also present here like in the whole English speaking web.
The French arenβt known for their hygiene so I am not surprised their river is filthy
From a post about an olympic triathlete who got sick: https://lemmy.ml/post/18887659
In Belgium: Tartare or Mayo. Andalouse for the gal, thanks In the UK: Salt and Vinegar In both cases: I will have to change seat if you plop yourself in front of me with your poor fries inundated by ketchup. Only the French do that, and it is a Casus Belli in my book.

But xenophobic comments were common on threads about Ukraineβs invasion.
As in "fuck the Russians"? Because I feel that hating Russia is somewhat less based on prejudice than your other examples, and somewhat more on recent real world examples.
There were xenophobic comments towards Russians, Ukrainians and Americans in these posts.
Also, I don't think people should insult the people of a country when they criticize its government.

There's a collection here,
Most people cannot see lemmygrad
Thats on them
Why is that?
.world censors left-wing instances
Lemmygrad is infamous for hosting hate speech.
Being too left wing is not why Grad was deplatformed by everyone outside of the Marxist-Leninist circles.
So infamous that you can't link a single example
Sorry I havenβt visited a hate site recently, you can wade through it if youβre really curious.

Does this qualify? I did not follow anything on lemmygrad, only the pigeon community, but i don't anymore so this is all i could think of.
Racist against germans? Really?
I did not say it was racist. The definition of hate speech i read up included national origin as a target, but i guess there is no clear cut definition.
My personal scale says that i don't want to hang out in a group where people say stuff like that and being upvoted for it, even if it is against germans.

You got something against empty sets there buddy?
Lemmy.world nor any other instance on the fedi can remove content on another instance without the consent of federation, even then those actions can be undone by the site admin.
.world defederating from you doesnβt mean censorship. People disagreeing with your opinion and opting not to see it is not censorship.

It's defederated from .world, the largest Lemmy instance.
The whole point of the fediverse is that it's distributed. There's gonna be bigots. But they can be blocked, their instances can ban them, and then they can make their own instances which other instances can then defederate. That's working as designed. In a perfect world, the bigoted instances will be a disconnected graph from the network of other instances.

I am sure there are instances I have forgotten, there is definitely a certain amount of bigotry, it's not hard to find classism, sexism, and ableism as usual for the internet and I am sure I have come across racism too but I don't remember any specifics.
Thanks!

.world users every time they see a palestinian
Assuming you are from the USA what are your options really?
One option is to follow the lead of pro-Palestinian orgs working to end the genocide. You have more power than any other global citizen believe it or not.
Try checking out the comment section on pretty much any post mentoning Islam.

I'm not black so I am sure I am not sensitive enough to it, but I don't think I've ever seen any racism on here. On a slightly related note have experienced transphobia only two or three times in over a year, and they were quickly banned. I imagine it works the same way.
"I'm not black but". More than black folks experience racism, but at least it wasn't "As a color blind white man"
It would be more helpful if you gave an example of the proper way of addressing the issue.
Thanks for the adrenaline spike.
"person of color" or POC is the broad category of people who aren't white.
π€ Sounds wrong to me
Possibly because "colored" is and has been used as a slur? That was the connection my brain made when I first heard it and put me off, but many POCs use the term POC comfortably, so...?
Well, I am not from the US so I don't have that connotation. It's more that it puts it relative to white people. And white people also get discriminated, so it isn't an inclusive term.
They do for sure. I didn't say POC is shorthand for "people who are discriminated against", just "people who aren't white".
Yeah it sounds more like a US term. Let's just stick to racism?
Those are totally different words with different meanings.
Never seen racism on Lemmy tbh most ppl are normal here. Its almost as if its against .ml tos... And they would defed from instances that don't have the same mindset.
