Please don't break the site guidelines by taking a thread further into flamewar and by replying to an egregious comment instead of flagging it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I've been called weak as European and you tell me I'm the one making a flame war by just stating what's obvious? You've a weird sens of humor my friend.

We banned the account that posted that, so I'm not sure what the complaint is.

> Is it incitement of racial hatred to post a joke video of your dog performing a Nazi salute? Why did you post it? Because you know it's controversial and would create engagement. If the nazi salute wasn't controversial (and rightfully considered hate crime) you would have ignored it. BTW the first amendment does not condone hate speech. Because even USA understands that there is a limit on everything.

The original statement by a justice implying restriction on freedom of expression was later recanted (note it was not directly a precedent setting ruling either). There are people in the US that see any restriction, even for hate speech or incitement of violence, as against the first amendment. You might think they are extreme in their views but rulings restricting speech are very, very rare.

I don’t believe that is accurate. Courts routinely issue gag orders.

That is a big fat lie right here.

No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway

This is not true. XEP-0357 is very well supported by any modern XMPP server, and setting it up is easy. There are many issues with XMPP but push notifications is not one of them.

Source: we are releasing an XMPP client for iOS soon.
