    They don’t coexist peacefully in life, why would they do it here?

      My nerd and techy friends, even the more progressive ones, do just fine in most places.

      Lemmy has the extremist and most angry.

      They tolerate each other enough to get each into a corner and not interact much.

      And yet that is not what we see in the Fediverse. Those “corners” don’t exist here.

          I’m almost sure.

          Your typical instance only defeds another as a last case scenario, due to deep divergences or because of blatantly shitty admin or user behaviour. But, past that, they’re still willing to let some shit to go through - because if you defederate too many other instances, with no good reason, you’re only hurting yourself.

          That’s simply not enough to create those “corners”. Specially when all this “nerds vs. normies*” thing is all about depth - for example the normie wants some privacy, but the nerd goes all in, but they still care about the same resources.

          *I hate this word but it’s convenient here.

              Can you come up with more examples? Because you’re coming across as “this happened to me, personally, once, therefore it’s run amok!”

              No one is saying that defederation doesn’t happen. They’re saying it’s not the norm. And hexbear isn’t the norm, any more than lemmygrad, or poa.st are.
