MODERATORS
Checking your comments you seem to have had a run-in with the ML-crowd. Lemmy generally has a plethora of "leftist" (if you restrict your political compass to one dimension) communities, although the variety is immense. Let's just say there is some ... unfriendly turf here on the Fediverse. Plenty of people on the German communities avoid .ml communities.
I consider it to be the price of diversity. Due to the lack of central moderation (except on authoritarianism-loving instances), communities are much more self-regulating. On better (aka not US-politics) communities people tend to simply disagree or discuss, but rarely go beyond that.
No? OP is getting their ass handed out by .world users, on a .world community.
Which is highly populated by .ml (such as you, which is not an inherently negative thing) and people that probably come from that line of thinking. Tbf I did not check what instance the people in question were on, so you are right for calling me out on simply assuming so. Regardless, OP was posting somewhat controversial statements and was met with a crowd that considers the statements "police officers are humans, too" to be controversial.
