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?

    “What if 4chan was communist instead of neonazi”

    Not quite, that would be /leftypol/

    wiki page / KnowYourMeme

    Better politics.

    This reminds me of one of their site banners:

      Hexbear has its origins on Reddit’s ChapoTrapHouse which I’m pretty sure has a connection to leftypol in its history.

      But sure

      My point is:

      Hexbear = Jerkoffs, except class conscious

      Would be nice if they weren’t jerkoffs but hey, at least they have class consciousness.

        This analysis isn’t quite accurate. On the whole, Hexbear is actually one of the kindest and coolest and community-minded places I’ve ever been on the internet. But I’d agree there’s an issue of a portion of users who happily get overly aggro if you annoy them (and being allowed to get away with it).
