This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.

Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn’t a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.

      I’m actually looking at the user right now and it looks like he’s been banned. I understand you may be a bit raw right now but hating on lemmy as a whole and instances because of one person is not a very good look. We’re all going through change right now

        There is zero doubt exploding-heads is a toxic instance.

        Just look at their frontpage for 5 minutes, if you can last that long.

        The hate and arrogance is seething, and they are all OK with it.

        It’s like r/The_Donald when that was a thing.
