Hey you guys remember ruqqus.com? It was the free speech alternative to Reddit that was absolutely against censorship and a place where anyone could voice any opinion without woke libtard social justice warriors shutting you down.

Of course, the place soon filled with the antisemetiic and racist rhetoric of nazis, and the the pedos showed up to post some horrible things and then the pedos got banned. I remember thinking at the time “so there are some viewpoints and opinions that should not have any platform.”

Around that time anyone who wasn’t a Jew and “mud-race” hating nazi was run out of there. By that point it was entirely n-word and pepe the frog meme posts so anyone who wanted to post pictures of their pets or talk about woodworking -you know, normal people- felt pretty unwelcome.

I don’t know exactly what happened after that. I think the guy that was paying for it just stopped. And then another bastion of free speech was gone.
