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’m saying I don’t believe anything that comes from Hexbear, and I definitely do not believe half of their users are trans. I already had that discussion so I have 0 interest in discussing with you people. People don’t magicaly become transphobe just because you said so, stop appropriating other people’s reality. And yes, most of their users are tankies pro-putin and pro Chinese government.

      The claim that they’re pro-Putin relies on no one actually going there to check, because they very much aren’t.

      Also yeah, denying people’s identity just because you disagree with their politics is pretty transphobia

        It’s not what I’m doing. I’m saying I give this survey as much credibility as any internet survey: none.

            Thanks but I prefer to take advices on trans reality directly from trans people. Meanwhile you can keep rely on username like “che_superstar97”(btw haven’t we met before Cowbee?). Oh, and have you heard, the proudboys just release an internal survey, 98% of them are not racist.

              This person (yerbouti) is an embarrassment, thinks it’s OK to be a reactionary so long as you pick safe targets.

              I’d post my fucking estradiol bottle but 1. meds/diagnosis aren’t a requirement to be trans 2. I don’t owe transphobes like you shit

        Nobody is saying that a particular actual person is lying about being trans. Its unusual because its literally 100x the incidence of identifying as trans as the population wherein the community is broadly left on many topics not focused entirely on trans issues.

        Adding the fact that its an internet poll one can easily suspect that the poll is inaccurate as is incredibly commonly in any such polls.

        Suspecting someone’s polling methodology is poor isn’t the same as questioning their identity. It isn’t transphobic

          It’s a trans inclusive space on the internet that actually enforces rules against transphobia (unlike on .world). I don’t see why it’s odd for it to have a much higher representation of trans people when the rest of the internet is an absolute removed of transphobia.

          Yerbouti just likes to be bigoted when the target is ‘safe’, like a political enemy. It’s embarrassing and not ‘ally’ behavior by any stretch.
