not a big fan of trump,he’s unhinged.

giving far right forums an avenue to voice their opinions isn’t a bad thing,this is what freedom of speech and expression are…unless it’s hate speech,then it should be banned.

Nah man freedom of speech includes hate speech.

If “hate speech” must be banned, why even have a democracy…?

You have to have faith in the ability of people to discern right from wrong, and the very first test of that is whether people are going to be mentally hijacked by some guy saying the N word.

If you believe people can’t do that… Why vote? You just support soft totalitarianism.

Far left; everyone should have health care.

Far right; gay people should die.

You have been bitten by the conservative propaganda bug and probably deeply fear antifa.

Hosting an app is a weird phrase. Hosting implies they are delivering content when they are only delivering an app, the content is hosted elsewhere.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
