Yeah, I'm not sure why are you being downvoted for this opinion.

There's a lot of truly horrible things that I don't want to see on the internet. To me, this sounds like a platform for anyone who gets banned by Patreon. e.g Neo-Nazis, hate speech, child pornography, or even funding terrorism.

I would be more interested if they did censor the truly awful content while being more permissive than Patreon. I don't think "100% censorship-free" is a good thing.



I very much doubt that this is going to be used for any stuff that's actually illegal. They don't need "hard" censorship resistance, they just need not to depend on a handful of centralized payment processors.


Yeah I would be more suspicious if this was an onion site that you could only access through Tor.

Today I learned that the US doesn't have any laws against hate speech [1], while most other countries do have laws [2]. I personally don't think that this is a good thing for the US.
