Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I’d like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page.
So my first mistake was asking what people on discussions.app like to use for different social networks. One instance, as mentioned above was goatpen.co. My curiousity got the better of me, and I went to check it out. That was my second mistake. That place is a cesspool.
That’s all I wanted to say. Someone or some company is using lemmy’s code to host a lemmy-clone and make it a cesspool.

This video is crap, he doesn’t even make a logical argument against “ethical software”.
I also disagree with the idea behind “ethical software” because it is a bit like DRM, i.e. it has the potential to hurt the honest people that follow licenses, but those “unethical” people will laugh about it and use the software anyways.

distrotube is a joke
Completely disagree with the video, pick any example and I can counter it logically.
If I make a hammer and my “usage license” states it can’t be used to threaten or intimidate others, is that unethical? If I make software and say you can only use it if you don’t threaten or intimidate others, is that unethical?
I’m not sure I see whats wrong with an ethical license. It’s not about “changing others” as the video you linked states multiple times, its about not enabling hate groups to leverage tools/resources for evil.
Edit: I don’t know who that guy in the video is but he’s projecting A LOT. Claiming the “ethical software” devs are “damaged broken people” - You take this man seriously?
distrotube is an alt-right free software extremist cryptofascist youtuber that frequently attacks Coraline Ada Ehmke, a trans woman that founded the Ethical Source organization, he’s the worst of the worst
