Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.
In the end I'd say this is likely a nice demonstration of decentralisation and a plurality of instances is inherently valuable. Every online place will have its inclinations and slants, in many ways, which can always combine to create shitty interactions between otherwise defensible or understandable actors/motives.
Ensuring that there are multiple such "places", which we can each connect to as we wish, means that many/most issues or people can have a place to "breath" without handling the shitty noise and friction the internet is so liable to create.
You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”
