Big tech platforms often amplify conflict and outrage. The Fediverse aims to be different, but some recurring behaviors can still discourage people from participating.

@everton137 Hate against persons and minorities, racism. Others saying, it would not exist because they don't see/believe it.

Unfortunately, I don't find it again but a moderator of Mastodon wrote a very insightful thread why #hateSpeech is often hidden for others: These people work with "followers only" function.
But here's a good technical overview about the problems and moderator's work: https://community.hachyderm.io/blog/2024/08/12/hachyderms-introduction-to-mastodon-moderation-part-1/
