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?

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.

surprised-pika "free speech" absolutists just being nazis yet again
