Excellent.

I suspect many on Saidit may not be aware of how challenging it is to run a free speech website.

(I initially selected this post in order to write something about the ways that free speech websites "embrace wide-ranging opinions" and do not stifle debate. /s And as some of us may remember, Reddit was a relatively free speech site in 2006, when I recall there wasn't much moderation, were no karma points for comments, and /r/politics was always an important part of the front page [and was later removed from /r/all, which became entertainment subs]. Their problems began with corporate interference and when another agregate news site went offline, and their 13-year-old users [not kidding] came to Reddit. Before that, there were periodic survays that had shown that most of Reddit were in their early 20s, and worked in IT.)
