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?

TLDR: they are right-wingers pretending to be left wing

I would block hexbear. I’ve done it server-wide. They are mostly very loud trolls pretending to be communists. Some could be actual communists, but I don’t buy anyone actually wanting to be in such a toxic environment and believe what they claim to believe.

lol

To add to your comment: Blocking the instance at user level is pointless, it only blocks their posts,not their users, so you still have to deal with their bullshit and they post their propaganda at every instance that tolerates them so it makes its way to those who blocked it anyway. The only solution is to defederate.

What propaganda? bear propaganda?

Ask any of em why they think any right winger would pretend to be left wing and you'll see fantastic displays of mental gymnastics.

To these people: Left-Wing = Democrat/Vote Blue No Matter Who. Right-Wing = Republican. They don't even know what is the difference between a social democrat and a socialist, they just think we are republican trolls pretending to be democrats trying to mess up and scare people from voting democrat or whatever.

Why a group of supposed right-wingers would largely stick to themselves and intentionally defederate from liberal instances if they wanted to convince people not to vote will always be a mystery.

Obviously because that's what daddy Putin ordered them to do, to destroy America (and that's bad for some reason)

Propaganda is whatever the State Department doesn't want to admit for another few years. Also, lol @:

Swaggers into bar, talks a bunch of shit, gets decked by everybody: "What kind of dipshit would sincerely want to hang out in there? It's full of fists!"
