Where do you draw the line on free speech vs harassment? Is harassment free speech?
1 comments

No, but peoples definition of what is considered harassment varies wildly. As can be seen in this very thread: Keffals doxing people is not harassment, Keffals calling for their Ukrainian supporters to spread that KF's admin is pro-Putin is not harassment, "pressuring" KF's admins mother is not harassment, journalists doxing and lying about LibsOfTiktok is not harassment; but KF archiving Keffals tweets where they admit to illegal activities is, KF posting the dox of someone sharing DDoS tools is, KF laughing at someone being silly is.
May I guess that you hang out on KF?

Do you think you provided a reasonable and objective analysis of events and viewpoints? It doesn't seem so to me, an outsider who had never heard of keffals or kf

> Do you think you provided a reasonable and objective analysis of events and viewpoints?

No, I provided a selection of examples from the two HN threads on the happenings to demonstrate the subjectivity of what people consider harassment.

You still are paraphrasing events and viewpoints, which provides an opportunity to spin them.

In any case, even if harassment is purely subjective, isn't it in within anyone's personal purview to take personal action if they feel something is harassment?
