Hey, very cool!

Somehow I forgot about it.

As you say:

Edit: But I like https://nab.cx/ better. Or at least, as an alternative.

They also announced a bunch more censorship on the website.

Speaking of censorship, here's a full text of the article so you can actually read it:

Tech censorship is real. To say the censor only a small list of items is misleading.

This would seem to address the form of the censorship employed, whose outcomes have been controversial.[0]

What's censorship and what is not seems to always change depending on convenience https://i.imgur.com/xTCKWNM.jpg

What behaviour deserved censorship in this example? https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/facebook-urged-to-act-o...

Censorship at it's finest. I also expect to be downvoted despite raising a good point, lol.

Is it really censorship though? This guy thinks it was probably ACK scan reports: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg19609.html

The censorship doesn't really work when it's in the URL.

So, we are discussing this pablum here, while submissions like

https://www.oneeyedman.net/?p=2581

are censored by the ministry of truth.

Censorship resistance is truly blind. That's a feature, not a bug.

Because censorship doesn't work the way you think it works. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29344676

I can't reproduce the censorship of telegram.org.

After using FreeNode for years, this is the first I've heard of censorship.

Can you cite some examples? (Downvotes are not censorship, btw.)

That filth you linked to is scored 0, which I think means it is not visible by default. I think it is preferable to leave stuff like that available-but-hidden rather than to delete it altogether. Free speech is a virtue.

See also this recent post which many people clearly found relevant, but which a small minority managed to censor by flagging: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23373185

Off topic, but the large 'Stop Censorship' banner on Matt's site makes it look like 'Stop Censorship and SEO'. Too funny.
