One would think that somebody who creates a free speech site and knows all this would find a hosting solution that isn't resolutely against free speech? How do YOU reconcile two opposing halves of your own mind?

We have rules, the rules must be followed. This is not a free-for-all, and it never was.

OK I get that. Now what about my question please?

What's wrong with the hosting? I guess I missed something. I know about IP2, but not what triggered it, and I never cared much for them. Is there more?

Yes. The hosting company, which I will not name at magnora7's request, has extremely far-left TOS and wholly supports "reverse" discrimination, while being adamant that they will never tolerate content that isn't politically correct in the most extreme way on their servers. As such, I feel that saidit's time as a free-speech-ish site is counting down to zero. As to WHEN the hosting company will see the free-speech-ish nature of this site, they will shut it down. At least, that's what their TOS indicate.

Early on I also made the mistake of calling this place a free speech site. It's not nor ever has been to my knowledge. I came here as a truther. I was not exposed to the alt-right, right, conservatives, etc much and what they considered "free speech". I've learned not to use that in conversation much anymore. To be more accurate, I came here for freedom of skepticism, though I firmly believe in free speech for all, though that no longer means standing on corners shouting. We've never had access to TV and we're not going to get access to Facebook, Google, Twitter, Reddit, etc without serious suppression and/or censorship. This is the modern world.

We may need to federate and/or decentralize wider somehow.
