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.
HOLY SHIT…I HAD A BRILLIANT IDEA! Since most free speech networks run on blockchain, and most of them aren’t moderated, if a user uses a racial slur, they LOSE bitcoin or crypto when they get downvoted. What do you think?
Odysee does that, but their main focus are videos and not posts
I suggested this very concept on r/redditalternatives and was told it’s not true free speech. I’m all for free speech as long as it creates an open and respectful dialogue. If someone wants to be an unintelligent buffoon and shout racial slurs then that’s not creating a dialogue and there should be a punishment. Am I wrong?
