I look for one that allows or protects offensive and insulting statement.

There is a very large difference between what is offensive and what is criminal.

Hate speech does not exist, people use that to silence different views, that is why there is no universally recognize definition of the term that all sides agree on.

Hey there, if you think hate speech isn’t real, then our instance isn’t for you. Please fuck off somewhere else.

I guess you know that account is from another instance? I understand our rules are there for remote users as well, but nevertheless I suppose there are other ways to remind Beeple as well as “Bee-motes” of them. You know, Beehaw philosophy and-so-on.

I personally can think of two ways, mostly differing in how much time you waste on typing a response. The second example (below) is the most efficient and therefore recommended one if your time and or patience momentarily come at a premium.

Example 1: On the instance on which you are replying to someone’s post, de admin/mod team does believe hate speech exists. You might disagree it exists (or just not like the term), but the rules as well as our philosophy is built on values that reject it. Please be aware of that when you interact with our server, unless you wish for the team to take actions against you posting/replying here.

Example 2: Hey there, if you think hate speech isn’t real, then our instance isn’t for you.

Please be aware of me meaning all this in good faith, @Gaywallet@beehaw.org. Have a nice evening!

Yes, I’m aware they are from another instance, as I just banned them. Making the claim that hate speech doesn’t exist is either so naive that they’re simply going to cause a lot of trouble on our instance with the educational burden they need to learn to be better, or it’s a statement based in the tolerance or even promotion of hateful material. Either way, they don’t belong here and I want it to be clear to anyone else who sees this and agrees with OP that they understand they are not welcome, either.

That just leads to a toxic community. No thanks. Also the “Hate speech does not exist” thing is certainly a take.

Create a post

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
