As always, seems to be full of right-wing anti-semitism, fake news and outlandish conservative conspiracy theories. Just check the 'popular' tab: "Welcome to "Your" Zionist Occupied Government", "EXPOSED: Jewish Donors Granted "Access To NYPD HQ", "How the Globalists Stole Our Home".

This is a great example of how 'just set up your own platform' may not be the best solution to issues of censorship and what not. Because if you do, then the platforms you need for things like payment processing are also likely to ban your service for much the same reasons as before, and neutral alternatives to them are few and far between. Still, I guess this does provide a good use case for cryptocurrencies and wha…

but they didn't set up their own platform, instead they relied on patreon.

Any service that strongly supports free speech will naturally attract the extremists which have been displaced from elsewhere. Right or left doesn't matter, it's just the result of the current political climate.

"just build your own platform" The good news is that the continued censorship will fuel adoption of crypto and speed up the demise of parasitic middlemen who take a cut off every transaction

wishful thinking, unfortunately

Once upon a time people wondered why people would do online shopping or use credit cards when cash got the job done. Crypto will eventually become the most logical option for most companies, it won't happen over night but it will eventually. Accept payment in any cryptocurrency and then convert them to a stablecoin so you aren't affected by price changes due to speculation

Free speech means no one is forced to do business with nazis.

No it doesn’t. Free speech means allowing nazis to express themselves so you and others can understand nazism. If you’re genuinely interested in understanding the principle of free speech, I recommend this as an introduction: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/freedom-speech/

Yes it does. Free speech means not stopping Nazis from expressing themselves, it doesn't mean you have to help them express themselves.

If you want to express something I don't like, then I'm not gonna try to silence you, but other than that you're on your own.

Pretty sure they were banned for taking on a public political stance supporting disinformation peddlers like Alex Jones. Payment processers don't want to be associated with this kind of content for obvious reasons.

What are the obvious reasons?

Why don't payment processors want to be associated with someone calling for violence in the streets while peddling conspiracy theories they know to be untrue?

Isn't that pretty self explanatory...?

This is the interview with Patreon CEO Jack Conte alluded to in the blog post. It's really extraordinary to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpbDgCj9rw

It's about 70 minutes; I would really appreciate if you could provide a TL;DR of why you think it's extraordinary, before digging in.

Thanks!
