Brave browser does this. Unfortunately I don't think that they have great adoption.

Doesn't alt right love Russia and especially Putin? How did it get on your "black, Muslim, or an immigrant" shortlist?

One of this scenarios would leave me without job, another one would push me to quit my job. Outcome is the same, but bad team is likely to cause a lot of frustration first.

It's the same industry where it's common wisdom that you should take a new, better offer every two years and change jobs. Shouldn't come as a shock that sometimes it work the other way.

Huh, now I regret giving SourceHut money. Looks like self-hosting is only sane, judgment-free option.

It's not great, but on a centralised alternative administration will take a side and some groups will be pushed out completely. Unless, of course, such platform will commit to being a public square, but reddit isn't that.

Federation offers at least some hope of cross-pollination.

IMO this issue should and can be easily solved by editor/viewer by rendering tags with lower contrast.

> the rules apply to them just the same as anybody else

Wasn't Trump forbidden from blocking people on Twitter by court order?

> "The First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilises a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees," Circuit Judge Barrington Parker wrote, citing several Supreme Court decisions.

You confusion stems from conflating 1A and freedom of speech. It's reasonable to expect a corporation of Twitter's influence and size to recognise this particular human right.

Twitter is free to set up their moderation policy as it sees fit, but at the same time public is free to criticise Twitter for said moderation policy and the way it's applied. The fact that they can ban Bablylon Bee (under current law) doesn't mean that everyone should just shrug and accept it.

Would you be willing to give away Alaska? Getting it back is part of russian nationalist discourse. Obviously not of the mainstream one, but only 10 years ago subjugation of Ukraine wasn't a part of mainstream discourse either.
