This headline may as well have a link to Lemmygrad labeled "EXHIBIT A:"

MonsieurHedge , 10 months ago to RedditMigration in Squabbles, another recent reddit alternative, seems to be taking the doomed "free speech" path

I went on Squabblr.co to check the news out and one of the first posts I saw was from user "14ss8bb8" talking about how transphobia isn't hate speech.

Yeah that place just became Voat 2.0. What a fucking idiotic decision.

This seems incredibly petty from a glance.

Damn, Trump's even been replaced as a foreign puppet. Wonder if he'll just kinda melt into slime from the disgrace at some point?

MonsieurHedge , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted

It's also a hell of a lot clunkier. For all the talk of federation, it can be a total pain in the ass to view content on a non-native instance. Edits not loading, boosts/upvotes not taking, some posts just not showing up at all...

MonsieurHedge , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Reminder: reddit may be dead, but trolls are not.

Hope the moderation gets more aggressive soon, or this place is fuuuucked. There's already like three the_donald magazines.

MonsieurHedge , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

God I am so curious as to what you consider hate speech "on the other side of the fence".

MonsieurHedge , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

Good. If the concept of not tolerating hate speech bothers you, get out.

MonsieurHedge , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

"Far right buffoonery" starts with people batching about how they're being """censored""" for saying slurs or trying to have "honest conversations about race" or whatever.

Nip 'em in the bud and voila, no Nazis on your kbin.

Through constant vigilance, anyways. Every time you see some little fuck dogwhistling about FREE SPEECH or CENSORSHIP, you gotta make sure they aren't welcome in these parts.
