Here’s a friendly little DM from from @EndlessApollo@lemmy.world

You’re a sellout piece of shit, how fucking dare you support a party that wants to detransition you and kill minorities. Please kill yourself and send me video so I can laugh at it :3

    Don’t call them out, report that shit.

    Doesn’t matter what ideology you subscribe to, that’s just toxic, shitty behavior.

      Thank you.

      I’ve just arrived home from vacation and this is what I found when I logged in. My bf read it before I did and yelled out a “What the fuck?!” So I came to see what he was talking about and see that DM. My bf is very upset. Sucks because I was just talking up how great Lemmy is. And then he sees that message directed toward me. :/

      Very troubling that there are people like this on here.

      I reported the DM via the flag icon on the actual DM and sent a message to @ruud@lemmy.world an admin for .world, but I don’t know if that was the right person to report it to or not.

          Thank you. Honestly. I used your message as an example to my bf of what kind of people Lemmy should be made of. People who are open-minded, even if on opposing sides of the political spectrum.

          In my experience most people are Lemmy are pretty cool, but I’m been noticing an uptick in extreme hatred from people who self-describe as “left.”

          I for sure don’t subscribe to everything he convervative party does, but in my little area, the conservatives have been cool and welcoming to me. Seeing a hateful comment like that was definitely a new thing for me. This kind of division is bad for everyone, regardless of political party.
