how to kill a free speech social network. flood it with hate speech. lol easy

@amerika the general populations revulsion to 'hate speech' is power that someone can take and use against you. i dont agree with it, but that's reality

@xkore

My take on it, having fought this out in a number of forums, is:

1. Avoid viewpoint discrimination
2. Appoint quality censorship

That is, someone can express any opinion, but in the right form.

That means that you can post critique of $ethnic_group $religious_group $sex $sexual_preference etc but it has to fit the right form for reasoned, useful, relevant, insightful, informative, and topical discourse.

@amerika how would you ensure rigorous speech that is open to all? wouldn't you be more restrictive than twitter who allows trivial, irrelevent and uninformative speech as long as it's not 'hateful'?

'hate speech' is replaced by 'lazy speech'

i would agree that this would be useful for a debating platform, but a social network im not so sure.

@amerika @xkore Hate crimes shouldn't exist. Guy got murdered but he was really hated by the guy that accidentally hit him with a car so he gets additional sentencing. He even called him a nigger!

This other guy cut him up into pieces and dumped him in the river while singing a lullaby so it was not a hate crime.

Ridiculous.
