My experience has been the exact opposite; in fact, the name calling and polarization (in particular polarized instances) is off the charts. This is compounded by the fact that some instances host certain porn others instances don't even want to cache, and many instances have block lists against the very permissive instances (not surprising, going by the Scott Alexander quote up thread as a testament to the kind of 'witches' in these instances).

There's some intelligent content on Fedi. Most of the content is just as vapid as regular social media, but written by a different group of people.
