    one X user claimed the website was “anti-free speech” after he said he was banned from the “comics” subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute

    That sounds like pro truth rather than “anti free speech”, no?

      Free speech means having to read and hear things you don’t like or disagree with every now and again. I personally think bans should be restricted to hate speech or else we’ll sleep walk in to an echo chamber.

              Opinion:

              a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge

              What’s your point? Other than trying to discredit me by insinuating I’m an idiot?

              I never thought that endorsing the freedom of speech would be so controversial!

                  asks definition of a wordwhen given the definition moves the goal posts in an incredibly condescending way.

                  Why don’t you stop criticising me as a person and say what you want to say in plain English?

                  I take it you can’t articulate your problem with my argument and that’s why you have a problem with me instead.

    “Reddit continues to be anti-free speech,” Cedric Hohnstadt said on X. “I just got a lifetime ban from the ‘comics’ subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn’t. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the ‘comics’ subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?” The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.

    Amazing that a blind man can draw comics.
