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?

    Leate’s modlog is filled with homophobia and transphobia under the guise of being an ally, this is a pattern and not a one-off.

      Many such cases tbh, so many of these types are extremely quick to accuse others of ‘faking’ their positions and it’s always projection.

        100%. Leate in particular has a nasty habit of suicide baiting and blocking anyone who calls them out, DM harrassment, and more. The loudest complainers about Hexbear are overwhelmingly the ones who got banned for bigotry, which they think they can hide by not mentioning that factor.

          I’ve noticed that in .world spaces that users will bring up suicide unprompted, or call me mentally ill, only to delete their posts before moderation happens

            Disgusting behavior, sorry to hear that. For some reason these accounts seem to stay up despite being reported constantly.

              It is, and thank you. This is why I usually pull up the modlog first whenever I see someone trying to punch left.

                Yep, calling out the bigoted left-punchers helps call into question their unsourced claims, and pressures moderators into cleaning up the bigotry. It’s a win-win.
