QuodVerum seems like an interesting instance.
However, the rules on their home page contradict themselves:
"We welcome all ideas and opinions, and will exercise minimum moderation only when we believe laws are being broken...But our platform is not a launching pad for criminal activity, harassment or the promotion of violence or bigotry in any form, against any one."
You cannot accept "all ideas and opinions" and ban hate speech at the same time. Why?
1) Many opinions and ideas are either hateful and/or bigoted (if wildly unpopular)
2) "Hate speech" is loosely defined; what's acceptable now may be "hate speech" tomorrow.
The most idiotic lunacy from the anti-free speech crowd is painting those who support true free speech and somehow being acolytes, sympathizers or even supporters of the hateful groups.
It takes a certain level of IQ and honesty to admit the difference between "people should be allowed to say such and such" and "people should say such and such." Which I actually touched on, on my most recent video where two 15 y/o girls were doxxed and basically internet mobbed for the crime of using the n word while white, or, for the african-american victim, condoning the behavior.
