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?

    That’s a possible outcome that I subconciously included in the list of consequences

        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.
