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?

    They mandate trigger warnings for pictures of cheese.

    Base line Lemmy has a left skew. Hexbear people are the basis for probably a quarter of conservatives talking points.

    A community of adherents of a political ideology which is fringe and marginal, and at the same time responsible for Trump’s victory. Very dangerous individuals.

    You either block them and die a liberal or you engage and observe and live long enough to start spreading their agitprop and using your new pronoun “comrade” as you lead the way to glorious revolution.

    (Seriously though, they’re just people on a leftist political instance. You’ll get the good, bad, and weird, same as any other place).

    Why don’t you asked them yourself? [email protected]

    Probably a bad idea to ask about a Marxist instance on a .world community, since .world is known to be quite biased against Marxism.

    Hexbear users will bully you to hell the very second you say something they disagree with. In my case, I said South Park is a funny show. They also think Putin is a good guy and at the same time they pretend 90% of their users are trans. Basically it’s a bunch of douche kids playing revolutionaries and intimating anyone they disagree with. My 2 cents.

    I just took a look at your participation in the hexbear thread you are referencing, and I’m confused about the issue. Seems like you got mostly thoughtful and positive replies. There was some .world bashing at the end including the bit you quoted. It seems strange to me that rather than ask questions about hexbear to the actual users there, you came over here to ask on an instance that has daily threads complaining about leftist instances.

    They seem like grad users in the fact that no one outside their instance wants to federate with their toxic instance. Who would’ve guessed that a highly charged instances calls people “Hitlerites” as an insult. (Obv I lack context here regarding the comment.)

    One word, Tankies.

    The community I shared rounds up posts that really portray their Phalusophy Philosophy really well. Now you would need to scroll down a bit to see some posts from hexbear specifically.

    but I cannot recommend you enough to stay well away from hexbear, lemmygrad and if possible .ml

    Yes block hexbear. It’s one of the first things I did on Lenny. Save yourself the toxicity of dealing with them.
