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?

    Hexbear is cool. I’ve learned a lot from them. the thing is, some of the people there can be a little brash at first. I recommend looking around the instance a bit before you decide on blocking it. some of them can be a little brash but they mean well.

      This is an extremely reasonable take, not sure why anyone would downvote you for it other than tribalism.

        if anything, they are just proving them right about their instance. but it is what it is, there will always be tribalism on the internet and in the world.

        Hexbear has proven so many times to be completely unreasonable that it isn’t worth wading through that much toxicity to find the good parts.

          I have not had that experience, at all. If anything I’ve had that experience on .world.
