Yes, some people are unable to deal with the faulty/evil ideologies, simply because they run out of spoons. This is exactly why bans like this come into place.

Nobody is forced to deal with the kind of people who post and stay on Gab. The action that you see here is the direct effect of many, many people exercising their freedom of speech to say that they do not want to deal with the people who follow the brand of this software.
Gab has the right to speak freely; it does not have the right to a free audience and/or megaphone. The decision you see here is a direct consequence of them refusing to address the problem of hate speech festering on their platform.
- beshrkayali 7y agoGab users already have the audience/megaphone, aka "the means" to practice their free speech. I'm not saying that fdroid is not allowed to remove gab if they want to, but it's still going to indirectly benefit gab. Same as Alex Jones fiasco. Bans don't work. And if we've all collectively ran out of spoons like you say to argue against their weak propaganda, then we have a more severe problem on our hands than having gab on this store or that one. Just out of curiosity, have you seen what's on Gab? Faulty ideologies need to be discussed in the open.
