So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now “free speech purism”, so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.
Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.
Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.
(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn’t truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?
I mean I don’t care for most of the “free speech” sites because I don’t care for the content that’s posted to them. In addition of never heard of Squabblr. But lets not be hypocrites here, the normal line is: “It’s a private company.” This also applies for companies you don’t like. Not just when a major platform bans people you disagree with in the name of reducing “toxicity” (a completely nebulous term that could be used to describe anything you don’t like.) They can do whatever they want. If you don’t like it, don’t use the site. Simple as.
If you fall into the right or left sides camp this will be an unpopular statement… I can’t understand why this has become such a hard thing to grasp
