That’s right, spree killers. In a single six-month period, it was used to plan and coordinate not one, not two, but three mass murder rampages.

That’s right, terrorists. It started swarming with ISIS recruiters and people planning terrorist attacks.

Who would use a site that lets you express absolutely anything except child porn?

What are LGBT+ people tired of hearing?

So they lost their hosting again, made some changes again, found a new host, and came back with new rules: you can express absolutely anything except child porn or terrorism..

Who would use a site that lets you express absolutely anything?

Why is the Internet restrictive about what you can say? I wonder…

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

A2A:

What happens if there’s a site that lets you say whatever you want with no restrictions? We don’t have to wonder or guess. We know, because there have been such sites, like 8chan. 8chan let anyone say anything they wanted to without restriction. What happened?

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

The internet is restrictive because it’s other people’s stuff. You don’t have the right to use other people’s stuff for free. If you do use other people’s stuff, they have the right to tell you what you can and can’t do with it, and to tell you to stop using it if they want to.

That’s right: child pornographers. Within months, 8chan was absolutely flooded with child porn. And I don’t mean child porn like 17-year-olds posing nude, I mean child porn like graphic photos of 6-month-old babies being raped.

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

It’s impossible to find a place to express yourself without restriction for reasons that are obvious if you think about it.
