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?

    “A pejorative word, phrase, slur, or derogatory term is a word or grammatical form expressing a negative or disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect toward someone or something.[1] It is also used to express criticism, hostility, or disregard.”

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative

    So yes, it’s a slur.

      Lmao. Guess we better update the slur filter to remove all instances of the word “lib.” Sorry, am I allowed to say it in quotes like that, or is it too offensive? I wouldn’t want to offend your delicate lib sensibilities.

            Claims that “lib” is not a slur.

            Is shown with a textbook definition that “lib” is indeed a slur in how it was used.

            Resorts to insults.

            Uses “lib” as a slur.

            I feel like we’re making progress here.

              Take this crybully shit back to Reddit, lib. It’s super fucked up for you to place “lib” on the same level of actually offensive shit and try to play the victim like this.
