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.

    It was only a matter of time before alt-right instances championing “free speech” started to pop out - this is the first one I hear about, I was expecting them to adopt Lemmy earlier

      I mean, I guess it was inevitable? It’s just sad to see good code go to waste to the alt-right/neo-nazi subhumans

              Thank you for pointing out how toxic my language was. I will try to change what I say.

        Also, the code doesnt “go to waste”. Any user less on corporate social media is a benefit for humanity.

          I meant “go to waste” as in be used the wrong way. Or for nefarious purposes.

        Please consider to look at how federation and FOSS code/platforms work. I made a parent comment, and nutomic’s comment is also nice.
