Tell that to Voat, or Gab. There's plenty of offshoot free speech platforms that got flooded with actual racists and Nazis the same way that Lemmy got flooded with actual communists and anarchists.

It's because when you have a new platform, a lot of your first users will be the worst kinds of people to exist on the internet. It's why """free speech absolutist""" spaces quickly devolve into nazi hellscapes that repel all but the most equally toxic and revolting people unless they cut their claim to absolute free speech.

Yeah, any 'free speech absolutist' platform turns into a Nazi fascist bigot safe space because they refuse to moderate the platform

Ah, Voat. Come for the freedom of speech, decide not to stay because ABSOLUTE freedom of speech inevitably becomes racist.

There aren't a lot of anarchists here, going by the anarchist communities I've seen.
