It is merely a tool, guided by the same principle Aaron Swartz implanted into reddit. Freedom of choice, freedom of expression, as long as the laws in the country hosting the servers are upheld. Communities can form and moderate the content as they please, but alternative communities can also form with perhaps less moderation. It is up to the users to make it what they want, not funded by advertizing, but rather with potential donations. It doesn’t have to be huge. If it gets too big, it should be able to split up.

Sure, I understand. Just providing feedback as a potential user of such a tool—personally, I'm not super interested in the current community it's attracting, and a hands-off approach to moderation seems like it's unlikely to attract the kind of community that I (or others with tastes similar to mine) would be interested in.

There's a couple neat glimmers on there, like the link about beekeepers, but if I wanted to hear conspiracy theories about Joe Biden or mean remarks about trans people I would just go on Facebook and see what my uncle's been posting lately :P
