I’m glad you haven’t been subjected to the posts in the communities you subscribe to like I have. In hindsight, I now see how this post is counterproductive -_-
It’s not counter productive. I checked it out and determined it is worthless. Like Reddit, but with a shittier interface, only 9 members, and half the posts are AI Japanese women in lingerie talking about Jesus.
For me its nice because i havent heard of them before and what the comments here are telling me is that its unmoderated
Like a warning before the first encounter
Their admin tried to advertise it to !gaming yesterday, by linking to his community for downloading malware posing as pirated AAA games.
I kept an unreasonably open mind and went to look though the site, and it seemed hopeless as a concept. Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech, shows that they aren't mentally equipped to run a site.
"Q: Will this site be overrun with racists?", "A: If people offend you, block them. If a community is dominated by people you don't get along with, leave it."
Yeah buddy that's exactly the decision we make for your entire site.
Yup, it's the same people that come here, say horribly offensive stuff, and then get offended when people tell them to shut the hell up and ban them. They're all for "free speech" but are not so great with the whole "free to not be forced to listen to them" bit.
However, my answer is always the same to them. We're federated. If you don't like it, to set up your own instance and allow whatever you want, and I can maintain my freedom to defederate from said instance. The one kudos to this guy is he did take that on, and is willing to risk hosting that content. Good for them. I'll be banning the url from my instance
