The difficulty I have with this is Wil's position against Alex Jones' continued use of Twitter (I don't agree with Jones either) and then being surprised when Wil is banned.
The cure for bad speech is more speech, not silence. The world is large enough for both an Alex Jones and a Wil Wheaton.
@williamlweaver @ainmosni@octodon.social I think it’s perfectly fine to have a desire for free speech and agree that some people and ideas are not welcome on a particular platform. I don’t think anyone should host Jones. The problem with moderation and policing stuff is consistency. If birdsite barred nobody the conversation would be very different.

Agreed. With 2018 technology, I think Jones should host himself, which is what I think he is doing with his websites and streams.
If anything, the Twitter controversy has increased his audience...
