Lemmy is going downhill pretty fast.. just today there was a transphobic meme that got hundreds of upvotes before getting removed (at least i cant see it anymore from blahaj). Feels like crap like this is getting more and more common every day.
What I hate is when people vociferously argue for their right to offend disabled people as if I'm forcing them to stop and not telling them that they're doing something that I think they should feel shame over and stop doing.
And I heard those same arguments about 'fag' 20 years ago.
There will always be a certain number of people who are just shitty, bigoted people. Lemmy started out with a very niche community that tended to attract a more progressive type. As it becomes more popular and mainstream we'll see the rest of the general population join and start commenting.
There's not much you can do but report inappropriate comments and to counter them when possible.
