That is quite a stretch. Bitchute is video hosting, so it's not a Twitter competitor. And you're ignoring that it's well known as a host for hate speech. [1][2] [1] https://www.adl.org/blog/bitchute-a-hotbed-of-hate [2] https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2021/02/24/the...

Mastodon is also known for hate speech, with whole instances seemingly devoted to it. Meanwhile, the ADL is also well known to push an agenda far beyond addressing hate speech, acting as an apologist for crimes against humanity in service to Israel's colonial regime. Some people in Texas have been known to be outspoken with their hateful views; does that make Texas a host for hate speech too?

I hope you warmed up before stretching like that, as I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself.

I agree with you that the ADL's recent Israel positions are often short-sighted and terrible. But their century of tracking and fighting hate is solid work, and even if you didn't want to listen to them here, plenty of other groups agree with them on Bitchute. I even linked to one of them for you.

As to the rest, I'm not even sure what your point is. If you figure one out, let me know.
