    Have you used TikTok? - it’s the only mainstream platform with freedom of speech and mostly free discussion.

    Reddit was far, far worse with all the bots, shadow-banning, deleted comments, etc.

      I don’t think using the term “free speech” in this context is correct since free speech doesn’t extend to whether an app or website deletes your comments. Free speech just means the government won’t reprimand you.

      Tiktok definitely takes things down, and I’d say that algorithm has done more harm than good in how fast it radicalizes people.

        “Radicalises” how?

        Just because they disagree with you?

        It’s one of the few free forums, especially that is so large.

        Just look at the Twitter files and Reveddit - they’re far worse if you don’t parrot the line of the US State Department.

          The fact that you assume that the reason I used that word is because they disagree with me tells me you arent coming into this discussion with respect, so I’m going to have to-respectfully-decline to elaborate as I’d rather not get into the nuance of this topic with someone who evidently already has their mind made up.
