I think that’s a weird quirk of Lemmy in general, is that the lot of us tend to be much more accepting of differences. I haven’t exactly spent too much time around, but nobody’s mentioned my instance or ‘queerness’ in ill intent, even when disagreements happen.

But also if there are instances or groups created where a very large portion of said instance is bigoted, it’s very easy to just defederate and move on.

I feel its more a quirk of the internet, in how things naturally get divided. When browsing the web, you’ve likely found websites you never heard prior that are really big in other countries. Things just happen to be separated by regions, languages, etc. for purposes of relevance and accessibility.

In our space, things are largely dominated by European and North American influences. Once you cutout the whole USA from that, it’s effectively Canada and Europe in this grouping too. I remember back when I was on Reddit, I saw ‘Buy Canadian’ quite a lot, just seems ‘Buy European’ is slightly more dominant on Lemmy.

Likely that the sub is called ‘Buy European’.
