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?

    lmao the blatant transphobia “disengage with the largest trans safe space on lemmy”

    you’re so obvious

    even if one assumes your trollish comment was in good faith, it only takes a single glance at hexbears front page to see it’s filled with kindness and reason. just people having fun online while still making space for serious discussion. and again, making sure marginalized people are safe and welcome. I wonder what your real issue with the site is?

    seriously, what other site allows trans people to safely and comfortably be ourselves like this? https://hexbear.net/post/4271750

        Transphobia is when you disagree with a liberal about anything, regardless of how much you support and respect trans people, apparently.

        That’s a bold claim. A quick look at their top communities list (one of the top 15 being explicitly a ‘community for transgender and gender diverse people’) and the first two rules of their CoC make it seem especially trans friendly.

          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
