YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain online.

    You can also look into the long, long list of defunct instances because they got defederated by basically everyone because noone wanted to deal with their shit. Hexbear and lemmygrad don’t care if they’re defederated because they’re platforms to themselves, the instances I’m talking about were basically 4chan, kiwifarms, whatever, chuds getting banned on ordinary instances setting up their own and trying again. When that didn’t work the instances collapsed as harassing others was their only purpose.

        Those instances weren’t breaking laws. At least not American ones. It is not illegal to be an incivil assclown, but you are going to get thrown out of the bar.

          It’s not a place for incivility that I’m making, either. I just struggle to believe you genuinely don’t understand what people mean when they ask for less moderation or censorship.

            I know what they mean when clutching their frozen peaches. It also never works out as they imagine because paradox of tolerance.
