Thinking of joining a reddit alternative... (lemmy.ml)

Hey humans! I found a reddit alternative I was thinking of joining, but there are some forums on there that I disagree with one hundo percent, and I'm wondering if I should still join the site? Would I still be an ally if I join the site? The forum names are mostly racist slurs, etc and so forth.

No I love lemmy. It's not a very toxic community, unlike other reddit alternatives which allow hate speech, but that's a different topic for a different day.

I think the ones which allow hate speech become platforms exclusively for hate speech as they people who have been banned from almost every platform go there and ruin it.
