Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I'd like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page.

So my first mistake was asking what people on discussions.app like to use for different social networks. One instance, as mentioned above was goatpen.co. My curiousity got the better of me, and I went to check it out. That was my second mistake. That place is a cesspool.

That's all I wanted to say. Someone or some company is using lemmy's code to host a lemmy-clone and make it a cesspool.

Just like a kitchen knife can be used by murderers does not mean that the kitchen knife manufacturer should actively monitor who is buying their knifes and go after the ones with bad intentions in my opinion

wrong

I’d just say to block those from federating to your own instances and stop giving those instances attention

that humanizes them, they'll feel like "i'm not allowed there but at least i can exist", which is a very dangerous precedent

Could you elaborate with a reason or so for why they are wrong?

Can you explain how we could practically ban kitchen knives from being bought by murders? Also, have you seen minority report?

other, more progressive, countries have done it: https://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives

Also, have you seen minority report?

i support minorities so i would never report them
