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?

    If you agree that “russia sucks” make someone not a tankie, then you’ll conclude that 99% of Hexbear are not tankies.

      Russia and China. The two groups who are well documented to use tanks against their citizens; hence the name. A tankie is someone who defends that, at least historically.
