A truly free speech internet forum will always tend to become a haven for lunacy. Why? There are no consequences for being a lunatic.
A moderated internet forum will always tend to become an echo chamber. Why? Anyone who expresses an unapproved opinion can be silenced or expelled.
X and Gab are free speech. There are a lot of crazies of all types there.

I understand all that. It’s just worse than I could have ever imagined.
I like Gab’s feature for quickly blocking offending posters. It lets you turn down the volume on the insanity as much as one wishes.
