I have actually been really surprised by the amount of anti free speech and anti privacy attitudes that I have seen since joining Lemmy. It seems that a lot of the people that made Reddit the shit hole that it was, are the ones who have been early adopters of Lemmy.
God I miss Voat, that was true free speech with a heavy emphasis on privacy.
You say it does not affect me, but my tax money goes to keeping the pigs alive. That is tax money and resources that should be spent on people who actually need the help.
