Do you actually mean an Internet where ableist, genderist, racist, and sexist ideologies are left unchallenged? Are you really just looking for an Internet echo chamber where the only other people in the room are those who agree with you?That kind of Internet?
Here in Australia, twitter is referred to as "a left-wing echo-chamber", in some quarters.

You're saying that because I support moderated content on a gimmicky website full of clickbait I'm worse than an administration who generalized an entire nation as rapists & murderers only to kidnap their children.
Bummer.
I'm supporting the persecution to the fullest extent of the law of the most violent president we've had since Andrew Jackson.

What people call a technology & what people do with a technology have nothing to do with the volume of information broadcast by that technology. The only reason the internet is usable at all is simply because we don't endlessly put up with this "why can't I speak freely as a dickhead" debate.

Is it me or are the MAGAs just looking for a "safe space"?

Persecuting a president for crimes is completely irrelevant to this conversation.

How so? The NY prosecutors will have unrestricted access to backup archives of everything he said.

It's relevant if the things he posted, or encouraged/elicited from his supporters, on twitter are criminal.

Actually you quite simply have no clue how webware products get built. I have a few on my resume.
