gollark: I disagree strongly with this.
gollark: I mostly use it to follow somewhat interesting stuff like a thread on exotic political compasses.
gollark: Also his actual tweets, quite often.
gollark: The mostly irrelevant village I live in has had 4G connectivity for a year or so, which is nice. I wish they'd roll that out more rather than overhyping pointless 5G.
gollark: The law is with you as long as few enough people start saying wrong things™ on the internet (or, well, specifically your platform) that people start complaining a lot. Public opinion might not be. The issue with making a new less-moderated version of something is that it inevitably attracts a few people who genuinely care about free speech a lot, and probably a lot who want to say terrible/stupid things somewhere.
