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 blocked all 3, I see comments from them but not posts.

    Most of the communities are are slowly moving away anyway, given how many users don’t want to engage with the instance at all.

      There’s honestly a lot of high quality posts on lemmy.ml. Maybe some from Hexbear if you’re into leftist niches like veganism

        Sure, but that content could go elsewhere where you can actually criticize China without catching a ban. And if those communities choose not to, that’s their problem when more and more people decide to block their instance as not worth dealing with.
