Do they also suppress left/socialist content?
If they did, then yeah it's a shit service.
I am by no means defending Nazi content. But if they are allowing any speech, I'd say this is closer to being "free speech" than Twitter currently is.
Speech doesn't exist in a vacuum, and all ideas aren't equal. The libertarian idea of absolute free speech is a half-baked notion that holds that Nazi philosophies are equal to Humanist philosophies, and they each deserve the same megaphone and chance to thrive.
Fuck. That. And fuck anyone who thinks that or platforms Nazis. Libertarian free speech is a myth that only benefits Nazis and other bad actors.
Yes, it goes both ways. And they aren't using the platform to push any of their personal believes either.
