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 was the extremism (genuine question)? I vaguely get the sense it was saying a cop should die or something but I am ignorant to how r/CTH was banned and hexbear was formed.
“Inciting violence” with such phrases as “John Brown did nothing wrong, slave owners deserved to get killed” as the primary example but also “bash the fash” didn’t help. Also ‘glorifying’ violence like laughing at Richard Spencer getting a right hook in the temple (which is a ridiculous notion, you can’t glorify something that was already glorious, it’s like saying someone is “illuminating the sun”)
I wasn’t there, but the widespread belief is that it was banned for a large influx of support for John Brown and saying Slave Owners deserved to get shot, which is just extremely correct.
