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?

    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.
