#2Welcome to NoFILTER, the unstoppable, uncensorable, undeplatformable freedom of speech app. By design, this app allows you to spread your word without limits. This app and your articles reside on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized mesh network consisting of thousands of user nodes. There is no web server, no database, and no cloud; therefore, making this app and your content unstoppable and undeplatformable.
When your article gets published to IPFS, the hash of the contents of the article becomes the name of the file. If one character gets added or removed the hash name changes; therefore, making it impossible to censor.
If a government were to try to block the nofilter.org domain, you can still access the site and the content via hundreds of IPFS gateways around the world as well as through #IPFS directly by downloading the ipfs companion browser extension or by using the Brave browser which natively supports the IPFS protocol.
Here's the same article but hosted on NoFILTER (IPFS) - https://nofilter.org/#/0xae48565bfb998f7cc7855e910345f5b801a...

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. - Eleanor Roosevelt
That's a great question. Free speech doesn't mean lawlessness. There are many exceptions listed in the US constitution and those can be pursued by authorities to the degree they navigate IPFS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...
For starters, we deliberately made a conscience decision not to make it easy to include photos or videos in content. We also made a decision not to create a general feed where all content is accessible.

#5Every single time someone tries something like this, it becomes a bastion for hate speech and everyone else is driven away. It turns out most people actually like a moderated forum. If you joined a book club and every meeting had people just screaming the N-word at the top of their lungs the entire time, I suspect you wouldn't stay at that book club long. Yet time and time again we see people learning this same lesson. It makes me wonder whether everyone who is extremely anti-censorship really does just want to scream the N-word in everyone's face all day, deep down.
Good luck with your hate speech site.

They say it's "undeplatformable", but it's really just a way of screaming into the void because no one is going to want to dig through a pile of trash to find out what they're saying.
I'd say it's a great win-win. They get to spout whatever they want, and no one has to hear it.

We have a right to post photos?

Care to provide a counterexample? Reddit and Twitter are also hate sites, but only if it's approved hate. Or are r/genzedong or r/hermancainsaward just fine because they only hate deplorable people and the West? How about r/FuckYouKaren? A whole sub dedicated to hating white women. No matter that it's my mother's name they've turned into a hate slogan, it's a common White name so it's okay to hate!
Frankly I consider many opinions I've encountered on this site to be hate speech; the only thing HN lacks is profanity. There was a ton of antisemitism here during the most recent conflict between Israel and Palestine.
It seems to me like moral scolds are more interested in language policing than actual hate.
Have fun with your hate site

> For starters, we deliberately made a conscience decision not to make it easy to include photos or videos in content.
So instead of censoring some photos and videos through moderation, you decided to censor all photos and videos.
It sounds like you want to comply with US law, but US law requires censorship of some speech: libelous claims, copyrighted works, incitement to violence, etc. Why comply with some US law and not all of it?
