1 year agoYou either ban Nazis and similar assholes or your community will be overrun by them, causing the good people to leave.
Prime example: Twitter right now.
The “muh free speech” “argument” doesn’t hold in light of the fact, that this is a privately owned and operated platform at the full discretion of the admins. Free speech is a right to defend people from the government, not to enable every asshole to spew their shit into everyone’s feed.
Guess what, not everyone lives in the US. We still have freedom of speech and this is legally relevant as a defense against the government. You can’t force a private company or club or whomever, really, to give you a platform.
Maybe this comic will help you understand.
