Respectfully, speak for yourself.

People don't seem to understand the ramifications.

I prefer truth to being enslaved into conformance by "the algorithm".

Every platform that tries "we're 100% free speech no censorship or moderation" winds up learning the same lesson which is that their problem isn't with moderation it's that you don't like the kind of moderation decisions that are being made. Parler ran this gauntlet on fast forward [0], Gettr did it too [1], places that have tried holding on to the free speech absolutist position eventually burn to the ground in one way or another like the various children of 4chan.

I think the anonymous internet was way better. People tend to group anyway, so it's not like everyone is forced into the same room.

If the_donald proved anything in 2015 and 2016, the loudest most malicious folks intentionally ram themselves into all communities. The suggestion that bad actors will keep to themselves is the absolute opposite of reality.
