I remember something similar on Reddit where there was a subreddit that made ironic humour about Trump, however it quite quickly turned into a serious subreddit over time because some people took it seriously.

I've seen similar happen with LGBT jokes or misogynistic jokes and they will escalate over time while you also get told you're too uptight and to relax. This also was beginning to happen in 196 on lemmy with trans people.

So? Block and report them. Don't let them control you like that bud.

This happens in online communities all the time, unless I want to block the internet I'm going to have to deal with it. 🙂 So I do the next best thing.

I understand I'm not the popular opinion here, but hopefully this helps somewhat.
