Like, okay. Context matters, but the people who end up ruining true free speech platforms are people who use shit like the N word constantly.
Voluntarily conducting yourself as a gentleman would is not a bad thing; unnecessarily throwing slurs out repeatedly like I saw on Voat all over is just not going to cause the platform to thrive.
So we can also expect this to be going on, and we can also expect people to be crying when it is removed, but it is necessary for the health of the platform if we want it to compete.
Essentially: Censorship is bad. But being a loser is also bad. We used to judge people on how they conducted themselves and as a collective we've been pushed into defending some really stupid shit because we are grabbing at what freedoms we can instead of taking them back.
Anyway this became a rant. Basically: Just because you should be allowed to discuss stuff doesn't mean that stuff needs to be discussed in such a careless way, and I do not want to see it go the way of Voat when everyone just saw persistent racial slurs and left.
It certainly muddied Pizzagate investigations when this kept popping up and mods kept removing it and everyone from all sides threw a bitch fit.
For the record: SiftingThroughTheBS and Zeitreise are doing more than just saying "THE JEWS, THE JEWS".
More of those two; less of the latter. You'll educate people and push them to investigate too as those aren't recognizable names to average Joe.
