Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit, are all complete jokes at this point. Anyone still using them and expecting any modicum of free speech is kidding themselves.

But also on another point, just because someone who speaks the truth is hated, doesn't mean someone who is hated is automatically speaking the truth.

hate itself is the main problem, there is too much of it. its the mental equivalent of zero tolerance in politics. the 'you are either with us or against us' and the 'ends justify the means' principles.
