I wondered about that. Ideally I would allow everything to be said. The most offensive things ever. It's a simple rule and people would get desensitized to written insults. You can't get desensitized to physical violence affecting you.

But then you have problems like doxing. Or even without doxing promoting acts that affect certain groups or certain places. Which certain amount of people will follow, just because of the scale. You can say these people would be responsible, but with scale you can hurt without breaking the law. So where would you draw the line? Would you moderate anything?

I don't envy anyone who has to figure all this out. IMO free hosting does not scale.

Scale is just additional context. The words by themselves aren't an issue, but the surrounding context makes it worth moderating.
