Maybe someone does not like free speech, therefore someone despises Minds. Since the likes of Facebook and Twitter seem to like censorship, right-of-center voices are migrating – maybe someone would like to see those voices disappear?


An article about Minds

I believe in free speech, but ...

Here it is: I believe in free speech, but Minds makes me queasy.

The author – one Daniel Cooper - argues that the '... The site's stars are largely the intellectual bantamweights of the far-right movement ...' and that '... the general tenor of Minds is a combination of race hate, gun porn, "pro-white erotica" and lots and lots of weed ...'

I get wary when I hear something on the lines of I ..., but.

Maybe he did not turn on filters. At any rate, this is not my experience on Minds.

I like free speech, but ...


My experience

True. I have been experimenting for a few days. Just a few days.

My opinion? People on Minds are generally much more well-behaved than on Facebook or Twitter.

At any rate, it seems to me many right-of-center users have migrated here from Facebook and Twitter.

They have migrated because of some social media's policies – I would term them as censorship.

What did Cooper think he would find here? Liberals everywhere?

True, on Minds there are some guys I would prefer never to meet. I blocked such a guy and that was it it.

There are some aspects of Minds I don't like. This doesn't mean I would despise it. It Appears someone else acts differently.

Sometimes you censor yourself while on social media


Nothing new under the sun

Why users leave Facebook and Twitter

Users are now self-censoring on traditional social media.

Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have become political battlefields. Besides, many got the impressions those platforms are not neutral.

Conservative profiles and pages tend to be banned on Facebook.


Free speech

Cooper says he believes in free speech, but then he comes to Minds and write an biased article on it – on its users.

This sounds as annoyance to me. Said author does not like alternative voices ... either on Facebook or on Minds.

The problem lies with censorship, not free speech.
