New Social Network Allowing Users to Have Freedom of Speech

This happens every time someone gets butthurt on a mainstream social site, it's getting tiring.

So, the site offers "freedom of speech"? Can I go on there and slander someone or do insider trading? Can I share copyright material against DMCA takedown notices? With any luck yes and they go to court.

What these folks really want is a place to indoctrinate and coordinate attacks on marginalized people. Thankfully they usually don't succeed.

Look at the user list--"Admin" and "test123". Check the terms of service--it's Lorm Ipsum placeholder text.

I'd also poke fun at their unlicensed use of Ricky and Morty giving an... ungodly gesture (), but hey it's a "free speech" site that means they can rip off whatever they like... oops, they're at `107.180.41.94`, a GoDaddy shared hosting service in the US. Moreover, it seems to be registered to a Canadian or by a Canadian company so hate speech laws are going to be even more developed there.

"Freedom of speech" is the absolute worst positioning for a chat/social space. It's practically begging for every "social outcast" to show up and go on some socially unacceptable screed just to test if they really can say wtf they want. Then this actively attracts more of the same and it's the perfect recipe for radicalizing people and actively creating monsters.

site is just launched that day sorry your "Butthurt"

And it seems to be down already..

tweaks perfection isnt easy

I went on a mastodon instance once that was will with people who had been banned from other social media sites for being 'too far to the left'. It was pretty entertaining for a while, watching people who were all like-minded screaming into the void.
