Yep. In welcoming back the Nazis, Elon made it clear he intended to make it a Nazi forum. Oh, he said a few things about "free speech zones" or something, but when you peel back the veneer of idealism, you just find a bunch of Nazis.
They love "free speech zones," because no one wants to share a forum with Nazis and leave when the Nazis take over.
Whenever someone makes a big deal about allowing "free speech," it always ends up meaning hate speech.
Freedom to speak is not freedom to be heard.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You can value free speech without supporting that.
Indeed, and most places do.
I'd hope so, but I hardly see anyone mention free speech without painting it as being on the side of bigots and bringing up arguments against it.
Because bigots love to wield it as a weapon and use the term in bad faith.
You sure that's why? I can't help but feel like a lot of people are genuinely anti free speech now.
