Leftists decided punishing Democrats was more important than the rights of marginalized people living in the US, so now we have Trump. Thanks leftists. You’re the reason we will have concentration camps again.

    I know the last thing you want is more excuses for their behavior but I think another way this could be interpreted is that they feel comfortable around you enough to speak their native language.

    This guy that showed up is a new guy so they probably feel awkward around him and are speaking English a bit to make him feel welcome. It’s possible as they get more comfortable around him they may stop that as well.

    I’m guessing there was an initial period where they all talked to you in English after all or they probably wouldn’t be your friends now.

    My dad was a white guy who only had Vietnamese friends and he actually had to learn the language to hang around them and understand what they were saying. (This worked out for him since he now is a lawyer who has almost an exclusive monopoly on the Vietnamese community for clients because he can speak their language.)

    Have you tried spending some time trying to pick it up? Or asked them what they were talking about or try to learn some words from them?

    Lemmy is mostly people who were banned from reddit for being too toxic (I am not an exception to this rule). Gather them all together and you have Lemmy.

    Mostly we’ve all just learned to accept the toxicity and have thicker skin here than most other places on the internet. We do this by out-toxic-ing the other people here we don’t like.
