Pietro Gagliardiwhy can't we have both freedom of speech and basic human decency; when did freedom of speech start meaning hate speech and hate speech only
why is it that much harder to find decent people on the internet
Dan moved, see pinned toot@andlabs When the web was new, anyone could make a website and fill it up with whatever nonsense they wanted to, and that's still true today - in fact it's easier than ever - but those who shout the loudest about free speech tend to do so on other people's websites. I think maybe when trolls say "free speech," they really mean "free web hosting, and a free audience for my nonsense too, thanks."
