I've been on the chans for years and spend all kinds of time there. But when someone claims they're releasing the ultimate free speech site, then bans a handful of words, it's hypocritical. I'll still use Frank, but it's stupid he's leaning so heavily into free speech, then banning stuff out of the gate.
It's no more weird than people expecting you to not swear at them in public. A public social media platform where people can express all manners of opinions is a free speech platform and banning cussing doesn't detract from that at all. In fact, it increases the dialogue between the varying sides. People are forced to argue their sides politely instead of just cursing each other out.
