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.

re: Purism will allow bigoted content on their servers 

@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.

@brainblasted @Doudouosm no that is the price you pay for being free and if they are planing to do stuff in real life and beat poeple that would already be illegal. and i would want to know what poeple like that say so i can respond i want to know. i can use my free speech to counter therese and thats how it should be. and just banning them will also not make them disapear you just took away the opportunity to counter them.
