Other people (or maybe the same people saying dumb shit) also say brilliant things there. Dissuading use of a platform of a certain type over another (like this forum)is irrational.

We need better software for displaying said content, not banning the content entirely.

Also, freedom of speech isn't what most people think it is.

Agreed, the signal to noise ratio is poor, but there are some really thought provoking comments in there. Wasn't some decades old mathematical problem solved by a random 4chan post?

Curious what you mean by the freedom of speech not being what people think it is?
