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?
People telling you you’re and arsehole and treating you like what arsehole is then expressing their freedom of speech.
It’s also a consequence of your speech.
That’s fair but I don’t think there’s much freedom of speech if someone will murder you for what you’ve said
Where the fuck did murder come from?
That’s a possible outcome that I subconciously included in the list of consequences
I mean sure, if you leap all the way from 0 to 1,000 for no reason.
No reason? Being murdered is still a consequence, isn’t it? Why wouldn’t I include it?
Because “a consequence” doesn’t mean “any and every possible consequence anyone could think up”.
So a consequence isn’t a term to describe consequences, according to you. OK, I seem to get it now.
Go back and reread your first comment, and the comment you were replying to. It’s pretty clear why your comment was nonsensical in context to anyone interested in engaging in sensible good-faith conversation.
Murder is illegal, and thus covered by other areas of the law.
Freedom of speech doesn’t give others freedom to do whatever they want in respect to speech. You’re incorrectly extrapolating.
