Should I join "free speech" alternatives?
Should I join "free speech" alternatives?
Hello! I've been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I've picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here's the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the "free speech" alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What's wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I'll find a whole new perspective (albeit wrong), on political topics, but a part of me wants to be the antagonist, and post lefty memes, and music with a left-leaning message (bands from r/rabm) I know that's like kicking the hornet's nest, so you don't need to start in with "that's a bad idea" I know it is. My main point/question is, is it wrong to join a site with potential hate speech? Does it make someone a bad person?
You're viewing a single thread.
They are not really "free speech" sites, they are fascist sites. They will use your left wing posts as rhetorical proof of their openness until such a time that your antagonism gains any traction at which point they will promptly censor you as they do not really have any ideals. The game is rigged, post on a fascist site and you will be a tool for fascism.
Lemmy was built explicitly in recognition of this fact for the master's tool will never dismantle the master's house.
Since when is Saidit a fascist site?
I click on it's front page and immediately see anti-semitism, racism, more anti-semitism and transphobic and queerphobic hatespeech.
Hmm wonder why you are rushing to it's defense?
oh what do you know, you've previously defended neonazi lemmy instances like explodingheads with whataboutism arguments and have multiple bans for bigotry.
"free speech" absolutists just being nazis yet againlmao owned. Ban this mfer.
They just explained it to you.
I haven’t seen any of what they said on Saidit.
Took me like 3 seconds to find mask off white supremacists on there.
CW: racism.
