The terms of service have been updated. With the exception of racist content, the use of slurs (racial or otherwise), targeted harassment, and incitement of violence, Squabblr is now a free speech platform.

So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now “free speech purism”, so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.

Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.

Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.

(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn’t truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?

    Sounds like: “If you don’t like being shot at, don’t walk down this street”. Sure, it’s a temporary solution, but we need to fix the problems, not pretend that they will go away on their own.

        Had to read your comment three times before it started making sense.

        I can see where you are coming from and I agree. My comment, although a hyperbole was more in line with “we have to stop the bullies”, but the truth is that there is a clear line between breaking the law and just enjoying your rights. Thanks for the sobering conversation :)
