Stream mods have the right to maintain the viewpoint of their streams, if they have a viewpoint

That’s free speech too!

There’s a conservative stream here on ImgFlip too

Politics Too follows the Animal Farm script.

Also, Purgie has been banned mnay a time, hence the continous torrent of new alts.
There was an origanl Purgie, indications is that he has had emulators.

“Animal Farm script”?

Do you really think it is being Orwellian to exclude the inevitable right-wing trolling memes that would get posted here all the time if there weren’t some effort to maintain this stream’s left-of-center viewpoint?

The comments that were deleted - including my own - were done for personal and minor (petty) reasons.

Can't question about being "free speech absolutists" and proceed to make certain 'allowances' just because oink oink.

I do tend to think comments sections should be more open to disagreeing viewpoints.

I doubt it's really possible to "de-radicalize" him. He'll just keep on posting this violent Neo-Nazi shit unless we can convince the mods to do something. My fear is that his shit normalizes violent political discourse here on ImgFlip, toward Democrats specifically.

I posted a meme a couple weeks ago here about a prior meme of his that got a lot of upvotes so I reckon there are people here who agree with me imgflip.com/i/3iuzbw

There's a good debate to be had about free speech vs. hate speech. I don't believe that upholding "free speech," or even tolerating hate speech, requires us to tolerate death threats. On the contrary: such threats impede productive and respectful political discourse. They shut down debate. At worst, such speech encourage people to actually commit violence against others or kill themselves.

But I won't re-hash everything here. Go to my other stream here for more thoughts and links to his disgusting garbage. imgflip.com/i/3jwwft

If you support this, then please join me there, make your voice heard and let the global mods know. I don't know who they have, but even if they don't ban him they need to get the message to stop featuring his memes in the 'politics' stream.

Good luck. Memes with popular templates and no swearing get auto approved. They aren't approved by mods.

I didn't know that. Why does it sometimes take so long for my memes to feature then? I just assumed I was waiting on a real human being.

Sometimes they do. I bet you used a custom Kylie template. Or maybe they manually approve all memes with over 1000 words ;)

The purgerer violates of TOS and should be banned. However, you can get around bans with a VPN and alts.
