At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

the same kind of power tripping neckbeard discord mods

I'll never understand the intense and visceral anger some people on the internet have towards facial hair. Also really leaning into the 4chan-esque Everyone Online Is Dudes trope.

Because a neck beard isn't facial hair. It's neck hair. Neckbeards are usually indications of poor hygiene rather than some appreciation of facial hair

I can't believe I'm defending neckbeards but...hey if Ringo Starr can rock the neckbeard, it's not all bad!

And I'm sure loads of people with neckbeards have overall poor grooming and hygiene, but I'm also sure plenty have good hygiene.

Lol, Ringo does not look great in that photo and it's partly due to the neck beard.

Ringo is a king, my friend ✌🏻
