Go incite violence on any major social platform and see how it goes for you. Pretty sure you'll get smacked down just the same. Ain't any big tech company got time for that shit. You want free speech, create your own platform and host it yourself.

I'm all for free speech but I care even more about accountability. Morons need to learn that words and actions have consequences.

That being said, twitter can eat a big fat cock. It's the worst thing that ever happened to the internet.

There’s more hate on Twitter. More morons on Facebook.

Are you fucking kidding me? Pretty sure Russia will host that shit for free. Also, I said host it yourself, don't need to pay anyone then.

"host it yourself" :olo:

sure, just build a server farm in the spare bedroom. i mean, how hard can it be?

and yes, Russia probably would host it. in fact i'm kinda surprised that Russian hosts aren't doing that now

The ridiculousness of hosting something yourself is actually my point. People often cry about free speech online regarding social media and in cases like Parler the actual host itself but neglect to consider the fact that if you have the money, you can do it yourself. Is it expensive? Yes, very. However are you blocked from doing it? No you're not.

You could argue that money = free speech and then you'd actually be discussing the real problem. This isn't about how social media platforms behave it's about some groups having more access to free speech than others because of their net worth and that's a real problem.

everyone just banned the president of the united states from their platforms

even though the guy is a cockmongling shitgibbon, the fact that you can be deprived of your ability to reach people even if you're the POTUS should be a concern
