    Literally why would you go to this website over Reddit. It has all the same problems and is just more boring.

    “Free speech” is just a dog whistle and gas lighting now. Unless it’s fully allowing illegal content, then it’s not free speech, which is obviously sane to not allow. That’s why its a silly term to throw around in the first place.

      You’re not wrong, but I remember when free speech was more of a liberal issue. Freedom for artistic expression and all that. Freedom to curse in music, freedom to create and view porn etc.

        I don’t think people really know what gas lighting is :p.

        Relatedly, whether you understand the term or not, go watch the movie Gaslight where it comes from. Great film.
