    Twitter claims to be doing as you say. I agree that there has to be some moderation though, and it's not always an easy call.

    No, there doesn't need to be mods. You simply have a platform where the user is responsible for blocking content they don't like.

    You can't not ban people. I've made the most innocent forums back in the day and you WILL get trolls posting child pornography and all sorts of weird shit.

    None of these people who got removed sound like they were actually interacting with the community in good faith. Contrast this with chappo chat who bans you for downvoting too many pro tranny posts.

    This.

    The journo:

    Amusingly, the CEO is also claiming that "If you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler. Except that later in that same article, he admits: "You can’t spam people’s comment sections with unrelated content." Except, you kinda can do that on the "street of New York."

    No you can't. IRL spamming is Harassment and Stalking. IRL porn is Exposure of a person, Public lewdness, and Loitering with the purpose of prostitution. Both would be met with an IRL ban in NY.

    Actually you can write in your own notepad.exe and not get banned.

    Not if Microsoft has something to say about it...

    C’mon man. Pointing out some double standard that effects few is dumb. No more of this.

    Parler seemed like boomer-tier GOP stuff. I deleted my account at some point, so I haven't been able to use it since, but I don't think I'm missing much.
