They're the kind of person to say something racist and then when other people are upset, they claim it was just a joke and you're being too sensitve. Its not satire and not a joke, just racism, sexism, transphobia and bigotry disguised as a joke. Even if it were satire, it just emboldens people who really believe those things.

I looked over the posts and I saw nothing besides over the top fucked up points of view expressed in a way intended to call out how fucked they are. If someone wrote "I like murder because it's fun and not wrong!" Would you assume they're actually a murderer trying to pretend to be joking?
I'm pretty sure it's satire, but if you're satirically are being a nazi the fun stops for me.
The sidebar with the rules is worth a good laugh though.
Here's my interaction with them outside the community: https://lemmy.world/comment/15208235
To be fair I haven't seen them pretend to be a nazi anywhere, so I thought it was rather tame.
I blocked the acct the other day, when they intentionally misread multiple of my comments and put words in my mouth i never said.
It was not satire, it was trolling
Edit- apparently i was too quick to block because they did apologize
It's a satirical community by the looks of it. They don't really mean what they say, and are in fact making fun of people acting the way they are acting unironically.
In the current climate, that's not a significant difference. We don't need people who are just nazis "ironically" or as a "joke"
If someone likes to pretend being a nazi, they're a nazi
Agreed, this isn't the kind of thing that should fly or be okay because the person who said the bad thing said they were joking.
It's a satire account and community.
So was /r/TheDonald
I think this is a very important thing to point out, "it's a joke" up until it stops being a joke.
One of their mods has already been banned from here for being a Nazi, so it makes me question how much of a joke it really is.
and r/GamersRiseUp, and that one about "frens" (can't remember exactly what it was called)
It's definitely worth at least keeping this community on the radar. I had a look, and I don't foresee it going well.
Flat earth also started out as satire.
It's innocent fun until it isn't anymore.
I'm unsure about how I'd personally act on this? Donald really was a joke (until he wasn't). Flat earth "conspiracy" was funny (until people took it seriously). Nazis, ...?! Kinda not funny? Maybe if it's just "shit nazis say" type stuff? Admittedly I've not looked at the community in question yet, not in the mood for it. So my input is just based on vibes. I originally just wanted to add the flat earth part.
I admittedly wasn't there for the Donald but wasn't it pretty obvious it wasn't satire? For this one to not be satire, I think they'd be playing some weird 4d chess or something
why do som peeps hav to be kinda evil in dis world ;(
pls let peeps live and like - maybe jus maybe be fair and nice maybe...
