Jump right in!

Most visitors to Free Republic are attracted to our very popular (and, warning: addictive) conservative news and discussion forum which can be found by clicking here or following any of the forum links in the sidebars.

While we don't want to be overrun by liberal trolls disrupting the site with agitprop posts, we do want to be able to post news articles from liberal-leaning sites and discuss them from the conservative point of view.

We don't want this site to be an echo chamber of self-selected news from conservative sites, or else we'll get stuck in confirmation bias, only seeing the news tilts that we agree with.

The home page is talking about using a left-wing source, and then discussing it from a conservative perspective. That is not the same as permitting left-wing perspectives to be discussed.

I personally see nothing wrong with preventing the site from being swarmed by left-wingers. I'm just saying that restriction does exist.

If there was ever a perfect euphemism for Twitter that has to be it. Look at any Trump tweet; the satanic level hatred & vitriol is nearly unbelievable.

When you see what President Trump has done to the makeup of the Federal Courts, lawfare will look like a lot of fun for the right.

To look at the left these days, you have to wonder when the Bible burnings will begin.

Comparing twitter to FR is comparing apples to oranges, but your point is well taken. The solution to the Twitter problem is to support other similar platforms. The only one I know of that could fill the shoes that twitter does is Gab.

From what I’ve learned about Laz - he’d hit a brick. LOL

ANYTHING they don’t like is HATE SPEECH! They probably don’t like Mother Teresa; so there you go.

Not just a Catholic Caucus, but also an Orthodox Caucus, a Catholic/Orthodox Caucus, a Charismatic Caucus, a DaveRamsey Caucus (I don't have any idea what that is), a Protestant/Evangelical Devotional, and any other kind of distinctive freedom-of-association grouping you want.

That's a more accurate answer.

“Twitter isn’t a site.”

You’re unclear on what a site is.

What is that if it isn’t a site?

It’s a medium and communication service.

It does have a web address for site access and implementation of the service via web site.

On the other hand, Free Republic is a site. drudge Report is a site. Etc...

Twitter is a site that can be reached via SMS or a phone application that uses the subdomain site mobile.twitter.com

SMS is a communication service that allows users to communicate to a site.

Twitter is still just a site and there is nothing magickal about them.
