What is hexbear? (leminal.space)

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 think Hexbear is trans-friendly, then you're transphobic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Transphobia is when you disagree with a liberal about anything, regardless of how much you support and respect trans people, apparently.

That's a bold claim. A quick look at their top communities list (one of the top 15 being explicitly a 'community for transgender and gender diverse people') and the first two rules of their CoC make it seem especially trans friendly.

And as we all know if someone says they're a certain way that makes it so!

This level of naivete seems to be a requirement for being on .ml

If only there was a way to verify their claim so you weren't forced to take their word for it.

Look, maybe you're right. But this was one of the lamest responses to someone bringing receipts that I've ever seen.
