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.
gollark: My website is very size-optimized and does a lot of caching.
gollark: I have 34Mbps up, 8Mbps down, which is not ideal but usable.
gollark: Some people don't even have a publicly routable IP.
gollark: Also CGNAT now.
