    The fact this has 40 up votes right now makes me feel like lemmy is losing a diverse user base

    Feel like it’s worth pointing out that user has over 360 comments, and they created that account 5 days ago.

    Also keep in mind Lemmy doesn’t work like reddit. Scores are not universal, it depends on the instance you’re looking at it from.

      That’s a good (and reassuring) observation!

      Still, even if it’s a bot/troll/etc. post, if we don’t call it out when we see it, the culture of the community slowly shifts towards “bigotry is acceptable here”…

      I’m gonna keep pointing this stuff out when I see it whether the user is acting in good faith or not :)
