Sounds amazing. Maybe then we'll finally have a truly neutral platform with no censorship of any kind.

Amazing? It would be immediately inundated with hateful content, driven by bots more than it already is.

This utopian "free speech" bastion never works out on the internet and always devolves into congregations of hate groups, which normalize themselves and spread. Look at 4ch => 8ch => Brennan's postmortem on the experiment.

Plus there will always be a level of moderation. No censorship of any kind would immediately become overrun with child porn. This has already happened countless times on other platforms.

It simply will never work.

Nope. These places are full of all kinds of people. There's just a wider spectrum. You'll see the best and worst of humanity.

That's obviously not allowed anywhere, not even on chans.
