One look at the front page (unmuted) and comments reveals it’s clear this site needs all the help it can get. The flip side of the censorship coin is offensive, intolerant, anti-social, paranoid conspiracy ramblings that repel most people. I’ve been told to go back to reddit but all sites appear to be wards of a mental institution.

That was my first impression as well. But thinking back on 4chan there was always a bunch of insane or racist comments you had to scroll through. I think Reddit just made me used to not encounter differing viewpoints or ramblings. It takes some re-adjustment to get back into ignoring the shitposting, but ultimately, I think the benefit of free speech by far outweighs the inconveniences. ...especially considering how little diversity is actually left on Reddit.

Is not all the stupid chatter of most of our newspapers the babble of fools who suffer from the fixed idea of morality, legality, christianity and so forth, and only seem to go about free because the madhouse in which they walk takes in so broad a space?

Not “triggered”. More an observation of the insanity on parade that’s worth the price of admission

Where there's free speech there will always be trolls and the mentally insane. Most of them just want attention. Don't let them make you leave, if all the people that have something of value to say leave this site will fail.
