Worth noting is that the admins of that forum removes anything illegal and they make fun of everyone acting silly regardless of politics / ideology.

They have been having some trouble with n00bs trolling. What do you expect when the media and, frankly, most of you spend 7 years telling everybody it's a 'trolling and harassing forum', i.e. lying through your blueteeth, just because you want to see the site gone. The thread I was going to link is the sole site admin literally begging the n00bs (people who've joined relatively recently and think trolling is cool) to stop trolling the subjects. There are a lot of joke threads and the Kiwis are ironic in the extreme, but that thread is not a joke thread. It's been Josh's stance forever: look and laugh, don't mess with them. If you're an asshole and you want to make dumb trolling plans, do it elsewhere. It isn't just the admin and the mods, either. Pretty much all of the OG users have always tried to quash trolling talk as much as they can. What the hell else can they do? They can't control what a few of their thousands of users do off-site.
Ask yourself if you want a global pseudo-public internet where any one of its critical private infrastructure companies can de facto censor the planet-wide web at the request of aggrieved Twitter mobs. Ugh. I don't think I have the energy for this today.
It sucks for the people using it in the way it was intended but I would hope that they would agree their "fun" stops being fun when it's actively harming people.
In fact, even the person posting something like medical misinformation can't normally be sued.
This is a tremendous misunderstanding of LibsOfTiktok, for starters. The vast majority of content posted by LOTT is no longer social media content to be mocked. The majority is:
1. Event announcements, particularly for queer events, accompanied by a call to shut them down; naturally, their followers do so via a combination of attack threats and actual attacks on the events
2. news articles, some real and some hoax, framing the targets of (1) as acceptable targets
"The account, run by Brooklyn real estate agent Chaya Raichik, tweeted on August 11 that “Boston Children's Hospital is now offering ‘gender-affirming hysterectomies’ for young girls.” The claim has been widely debunked by fact-checking groups—but as is typical in anti-trans rhetoric, facts rarely matter, and the claims were shared widely on right-wing social media accounts."
What fun, silly stuff they have going on over at LibsOfTikTok. no one should have to be tolerant of intolerance.
