It doesn't matter what they were banned for, it's still hypocritical for a platform apparently based around "free speech" to ban people for speech they don't ag

  Spam and flood is not speech it's noise preventing people from having actual conversations.

    Who's to decide what is spam and flood and what's not? The circle never ends. Call Parler what it is - a right-wing circle jerk, for aggrieved snowflakes who think that "free speech" means that you can say whatever and whenever, as long as it's sufficiently conservative, and not only can the government not punish you, but those big meanie private companies can't either.

      Every forum needs human moderation, but that doesn't imply that this moderation cannot be done in good or bad faith. Just like a good judge is not congruent to a big, deterministic computer.

        So you're saying you believe Parler to be moderating in better faith than Twitter/Facebook/etc? 'cause I think for your statement to be relevant that would have to be the assertion...

  I don't think it's hypocritical at all. The U.S. is based around free speech and we ban all of types speech for good reasons. It obvious that "we want to allow someone to say anything they could say on twitter+(spout conspiracy theories and implicit/explicit racist shit)" is both freer than twitter, and not as free as previous+harass people. I really don't think allowing right wing nuts to voice their opinion but not letting users harass each other makes a hypocrite?
