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.
Whats interesting is that they kept the slur filter, and banned a lot of users who were spamming slurs.
They had at least some moderation rules!
The :Admin of “votal.net” was opposed to slurs. it was a tool to steer votal in a better direction. Also the server is//was hosted in Switzerland where law prohibits apology of genocide. i do believe :A got fed up, tired and disgusted so :A closed the site because of too many neonazis, racists, antivax and such.
