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.
Maybe it’s the alcohol or maybe I’m just in a good mood, but what if we were kind to these people? I’m not saying make friends with them, but y’know, show them kindness, a little compassion. Would that be bad to do?
On an individual basis, why not. But fascism cannot be combatted with kind words.
