Purism will allow bigoted content on their servers 

Purism has decided that they will explicitly allow bigoted content on their servers. For that reason I will not lift my ban on them, and I recommend that servers that have not blocked them yet do. I cannot in good conscious support their products if they will allow the spread of content that harms minorities.

Below is the conversation I had in their public Librem One room after they published their CoC.

@brainblasted Morality can't be ignored. They advertise "profit maximization is not the purpose" and their action "shall be devoted to ensuring the security, privacy, and freedom of the users of its products": puri.sm/about/social-purpose. So, they can't defend a position that anything legal is admissible to them. There is enough to read on "legal but harmful". Instead of excluding them, discussion should continue.

@Doudouosm at this phase, discussion is done for me. I spent multiple days trying to get them to consider the harm they're allowing, but they decided not to.

@brainblasted @Doudouosm
the harm what are you talking about how weak do you think poeple are. if they are that weak they should seek some help and stay offline because that can never be healty. maybe they have bigger problems then seeing bad words online.

@ben666 @Doudouosm no, I mean actual physical harm. Allowing hate groups to organize and recruit means that they can plan and enact action to harm minorities. That's just facts. The solution is to not give them that platform.
