You want an audience? Build it (your own website and app). Nobody owes you nothing. There is no free speech in any social media. Elon Musk spent 44billions to be able to say whatever stupid thing he wants and still have people forced to see it

#102What is your definition of free speech? Another question - why do you personally need free speech?
To describe a situation as-is. Not taking sides.
Because the population is getting stupider by the day (their doing) and it's being programmed. I don't like a re-programmed populations.

#103“Freedom of speech?” You keep using that expression… I don’t think it means what you think it means. You basically want no moderation, but for people to self censor because otherwise it devolves into garbage. That’s still moderation. And this also presumes people would actually want to visit this site. If you give people the option of scrolling through funny videos on TikTok or getting into an internet argument with…
My definition is the ability to show a situation for what it is.
Now tell me, is this correct, according to its definition?

#104> The places that aren't moderated are filled with political crap such as to tarnish their credibility, so that the people will stay away by their own will. People say stupid shit. When you have a place where anyone can publish anything, you wind up with a lot of people publishing a lot of stuff you don't like. You don't get to decide what sort of discourse or ideas are getting published. Nobody does. That's just par…
It's much better to post imbecilities than to be moderated. Moderation is biased, unmoderated is not. You need to pick your poison.
I like everything pure. Stupidity is part of life; if the people are stupid, then we have a duty to teach them not to be so, instead of silencing them; wouldn't you agree?

#105> The places that aren't moderated are filled with political crap such as to tarnish their credibility, so that the people will stay away by their own will. well there's your problem Your post has a lot of political baggage - unchecked assumptions like "I want a free speech space but not the political crap" - embedded in it. Free speech is an inherently political concept, and stripping the "political crap" out of it…
I focus on real problems and not the ones that bring the most income - the latter is politics, which is why I don't dabble in it. Politics was created as a distraction for the population, the idea that someone listens to them, and fights. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it's plain stupid.
Freedom of speech is when you see a problem and describe it exactly as what it is; no exceptions. Translate this into your long-post and come up with a single sentence to address it.

Lol, they were _always_ stupid, It's just that they had other diversions ( like trying to survive) in the past so that they could not practice stupidity.
Check my profile and follow the link, the entire theme of a little that I have written assumes that a large part of the population. Head up: trigger warning for people who think some how the population at large can be 'educated'

I disagree that I have a duty to teach them, but I do agree that you shouldn't silence them. You can ignore them if you want.

If you know something that another does not, you should teach him. Otherwise, he will never learn any better. And if he doesn't learn any better, he will continue to spread its misinformation everywhere he goes. Ignoring him will not stop the spread of stupidness. That's why it is a duty.
The world is screwed up because everyone looks only to their bellies and their genitals - that's all. The foundation of consumption is based on this and everything evil is as well. I would like for people to think before they act; if they did so, bellies and genitals would no longer represent a factor.

HN censors anything they don't like specially about their related startups/companies and is also biased to the left politically speaking
No, HN moderation is just biased to the non-sexist, non-racist, non-homophobic, non-transphobic, non-conspiracy-theorist. It's the right wing's choice that they're biased to the sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and conspiracy theories. Don't blame it on the HN community that they aren't sociopathically biased the same as the right wing and Elon Musk, and don't tolerate all that bigotry. Clean up your own act,…
Flagged dead green anonymous coward unog: If you mistakenly perceive that as a personal attack against you, it's only because you yourself are guilty of personally attacking innocent people with hate and bigotry by punching down and lying and bullying, and you totally deserve the same shit you dish out, but you just can't take it. You're guilty of and trying to justify and defend your own and other asshole's right wing sociopathic behavior, cultivated ignorance, racist and sexist and homophobic and transphobic bigotry, mental illness, and conspiracy theories, and that's a fair objective accurate diagnoses based on the evidence, not a personal attack. I'm just personally DEFENDING the people you love to personally ATTACK. You don't belong here, and you fucking well know it, because you're terrified to post that bullshit under your own name. Go away, bigot.
Mark Robinson's historic posts on internet forums clearly demonstrate the hypocrisy and self loathing and psychological projection that's really going on with people like you.

At least Mark Robinson has the gumption to post that shit under his own name. If you truly believe and stand by and think you can justify what you say, then you should give it a try, anonymous coward keyboard warrior.
