PowerCrazy comments on Squabbles, another recent reddit alternative, seems to be taking the doomed "free speech" path

I don't understand what I'm looking at here? Some reddit-ish place is declaring free-speech then they immediately backpedal and say racist stuff doesn't count, and also some admins left? So what is the material difference between a "free speech platform*" and lemmy which also doesn't allow racist stuff?

It sounds like they’re going to be allowing anti-LGBT hate speech, which was formerly a ban-worthy offense on their platform. Reddit and most Lemmy instances have rules against this, so I imagine Squabblr is going to attract the same sort of people that like using Truth Social.

In my experience forums that allow everything else will basically attract all the trans-, queer- and homophobes, misogynists and sexists.
