They were DMed to me, and was disagreeing with me on this subject and then using anti-trans slurs. I got a bunch all in a short period, so I’m guessing a single actor or anti-trans group using multiple accounts. But I decided it wasn’t worth my emotional energy to keep the comments up and have others do the same. Sucks that some people can’t have discussions without finding something they hate about you and using that to make themselves feel superior when they dont have any real argument to make other than “you’re wrong”.
Honestly, I abandoned my lemmy.world account last year when Serinus changed the moderation policy that the “narrative” that trans people are not real or are mentally ill or whatever to not be considered hate speech and thus not to be removed automatically, following the similar change at Facebook. I guess I should continue to steer clear of the server since it seems it has given bigots a feeling that they aren’t the bad guy as I argued it would just like it did with Facebook, X, and the others. Sucks that we can’t live in peace. And that’s all I’ll say on the matter as I dont have the energy to convince anyone that trans people do exist, it’s widely accepted medical science from all unbiased medical organizations and it is definitely as much hate speech so say a trans person isn’t their gender as it is to say a black person is a non-human primate.

wow, that’s wild. they do have quite a few highly questionable decisions, to put it gently. maybe we should treat them like we do .ml, and encourage people to move to other instances, while generally not participating in their communities
Can you please point out the hate speech you received? I can’t find any in the comments here, just people having different opinions.
As the time of writing the comment I am replying to has 15 up- and 3 downvotes. Doesn’t look like it has warranted hate speech.
