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

      There is literally nothing transphohic about their comment, what the hell are you on about? People don’t like Hexbear because it’s trans-friendly, people dislike it because of their tankie politics and users that act like edgy 14 year olds.

        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.

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

        This is a very bad take. It is well-documented that Hexbear’s userbase is around 50% trans, and has a well-developed moderation team in order to protect their userbase. Discounting trans people because they disagree with you politically is in fact transphobia.

        If you think Hexbear is trans-friendly, then you’re transphobic.

        No, lol.

        Someone complaining about being harassed by transphobic chasers and you said “good”, it’s for allies.

        bruh wtf

          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.
