Basically what they do is go into communities and say as many racial slurs and profanities as possible to see if the community is welcoming to them so they can alert people that think like them that this is a safe place for them. I always said that I will personally judge these matters, and I judge this as a blatant violation of standards at exploding heads. Although we do allow certain levels of that material in certain communities, I will not allow over the top violations of that sort of thing, and would advise that anybody looking to do that to find gab as their permanent residence as that place is loaded with skinhead neo Nazi material in certain communities

    personally I kind of like free speech so I find this censorship to weaken communities kind of, like if another instance came along that allowed more freedom of speech it could put DMT and EH instances at competitive disadvantage

    I understand there are costs associated with “edgier” speech though

    There’s a trope that says “If a website has a single antisemitic comment, then everything on that website is invalid and must be banned.” So if someone wanted to ruin exploting-heads.com, then all they have to do is create accounts and post antisemitic stuff.

            That is necessary for the current left. In a real honest open debate, they just lose. They make excuses for it like “You’re an evil person using words to trick us!”

            They accuse the other side of fascism, but they really are the most fascist. Fascism is “the merger of corporate and government power”. In the USA in 2023, almost all the institutions are on the same side as the left. The only things the right controls right now are some state governments, the Supreme Court (sort of) and the House of Representatives (sort of).
