>I do care about their offensive/hate speech though. The far right is a minority, and you are actually the one who try to restrict them with the label "offensive/hate"..is that correct?

"you can say anything that is not directly illegal in the US without fear of being banned or other mode“ For a non-American, could you explain how this is far right? Sounds pretty liberal.
Indeed, liberals are now commonly being mis-labeled as "far-right" in America. The left has become intolerant of conservative views, and labels anything conservative as "far-right". Liberals tend to entertain views across the spectrum, and thus are labeled as "far-right" by many people in the left.

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes? Con: LOL no...no not those views Me: So....deregulation? Con: Haha no not those views either Me: Which views, exactly? Con: Oh, you know the ones
When Trump was banned from Twitter, they literally cited [0] “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” as a reason to ban him and claimed that it must be read as inciting violence. The other tweet wasn't as jaw droppingly banal but it was still perfectly acceptable political fare. It is pretty clear they didn't have any quotes to back up supposed incitement. There is a…

There is a difference between choosing to be part of a minority/fringe hate group and being born a different race. There is a good reason why "political" views aren't a protected class in most modern countries.
But who is the instance who gives a group the label "hate" you? And why do you have to be a different race to be a fringe hate group?

“Period”, “fuck [them]”, “not up for discussion”, “no debate”... these are not terms used by successful thinkers. Rather, they are how echo chambers form.
I wince at this statement. There is no need to be a "successful thinker" on something that should be common sense. It's OK that you don't want to admit your transphobia and instead continue to drop a viewpoint which trans women and people have been fighting against, but at least be honest.

How many left wing dictators have there been?

Parler is basically a direct clone of twitter's basic features. They use different names but have features similar to that of Twitter's tweet/like/retweet. Gab's current iteration is a mastodon fork (although iirc they don't participate in the fediverse via activitypub). Gab is similar to Twitter like Parler but is less of a direct clone, offering other features Twitter doesn't have. Gab has been along for longer and…
