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?

      Well the X axis is piss, and I hope I need not spell out what the Y axis is...

      I tried to come up with a funny explanation but I deleted it because trying to establish something that even resembled internal coherence (a) wasn't funny and (b) wasn't possible.

        Going against consensus on a .world thread is a tricky thing if you want to actually be heard by anyone and not immediately shut out.

          Yeah, I realized that I don't have the temperament for it so I just save myself the frustration and hang out in the peanut gallery.

            Occasionally I manage to change someone's perspective and that generally makes it worth it, though I'm overdue for a break from the trenches.

              Getting out there and evangelizing is how we grow the movement; I just need to get back in the habit of meditating before I try.

                The most success comes from the radicalized fringes of liberals. That's why I tend to stick more to Lemmy.ml when I try to lead libs to theory, anticommunists aren't going to be convinced anytime soon anyways
