I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

    one of the top 15 being explicitly a ‘community for transgender and gender diverse people’

    And as we all know if someone says they’re a certain way that makes it so!

    This level of naivete seems to be a requirement for being on .ml

      Since you’re bringing up instance stereotypes, I have to say I’m disappointed to see baseless conspiracy claims from a dbzer0 user. dbzer0 is usually decent.

      And as we all know if someone says they’re a certain way that makes it so!

      Are you implying that this active community is somehow just an elaborate hoax? Why?

        Oh, nice, a lack of reading comprehension as well

      If only there was a way to verify their claim so you weren’t forced to take their word for it.

      Look, maybe you’re right. But this was one of the lamest responses to someone bringing receipts that I’ve ever seen.

          No, you’re right, it isn’t receipts to actually go and check to see what are the popular communities, and pale in comparison to your assertion that this is simply a case of how people sometimes misrepresent themselves, to which you provided the ironclad evidence of “trust me bro”.

          You are truly a bastion of intellectual rigor. Bravo, sir, bravo
