If he just wanted kiwifarms to be a gossip forum he could have banned doxxing.

He doesn't allow doxxing out of a commitment to free speech. The forum doesn't actually have that much free speech. If you criticize him you will get banned pretty fast.

There isn't much transparency either. Banned users aren't marked as being banned. And bans are often done without public notification. So unlike most forums, you can't tell if someone has been banned.

Which is it? Not sure what you are getting at here.

To rephrase that sentence: Free speech isn't the reason he allows doxing on the forum.

Do you have a source for that claim?

It's like I explained above. It's safe to assume they don't care that much about free speech, because Null has banned people for dissent.

I don't think a free speech absolutist would secretly ban people for criticizing him.
