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?
Yes, hence they reveal that they think the staus quo is the correct way of doing things… Though to be fair, being a little reactionary is hard wired in human brains and is especially prone to surface for those politically illiterate (or idiots in Greek).
For what its worth I don’t think the status quo is the correct way of doing things, but Ill bet we have different ideas on what to change. I couldn’t care less about what economic system we end up with for instance. I just want to remove as much authoritarianism from society as possible. After that I genuinely don’t care what happens, as long as Im left alone. Don’t spy on me, don’t force me to give my data to those I don’t want to, don’t take all of my money and don’t put arbitrary barriers in my way to things that don’t hurt others because you “know better”. After that I don’t care anymore.
