They say "They actively forbid free speech" like it's a bad thing, but when's the last time you saw your typical Jordan peterson fanboy or a unironic "cites the bell curve" type running their mouth around here? Sounds like a modicum of peace and quiet to me.
The real secret is that any moderation at all falls under “actively forbid free speech” — even if they actually are a free speech absolutist, they strangely don’t extend that to Hexbearers (notice their call for defederation)
