Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Free speech as a guiding principle sounded so good when Reddit was created, and mostly it enabled neo-Nazis to recruit outside of Stormfront (lemmy.ml)

Turns out there are plenty of things more worthy of fighting for than enabling fascists and terrorists to lure in vulnerable people and harass marginalized people

How is this a showerthought, as opposed to a random political screed? Whatever gets the karma I guess.

Edit: Also, this position only works because corporations happen to be aligned with you politically right now. I doubt many of you would be as enthusiastic about censorship in social media if we were talking about Reddit trying to ban anarchists and communists as well as Nazis.
