"...absolutely could be the modern town square and would be great if it supported real freedom of speech, in my opinion."
My claim is that (in the US) if a platform allowed everything that was legal it wouldn't be popular.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI don't see how a comparison with 4chan is any evidence for that. There are also heavily regulated forums which are not popular. So clearly that's not the reason for whether or not one is going to be popular.

- throwawaylinux 5y agoNon sequitur.

- throwawaylinux 5y agoI didn't say it doesn't have an effect.
