I think that if Jim had 1 million users, he would be so thrilled that he wouldn't care about any other problems.

But again, Free Republic is a private club. If these groups want to create and enforce private club membership, that's fine, but when you get to a certain size, you can't make the argument that it is a private club. At some point it becomes a public forum.

How so? Twitter and Facebook have more stringent requirements to join than Free Republic.

And I wouldn't be so sure that Jim or any of us would be happy if he lost the ability to moderate the forum. I don't know what you think a political forum without any moderation would look like but I don't think many of us would find it enjoyable.

There needs to be a threshold. Once you are too big, you can't be a private club.

And I wouldn't be so sure that Jim or any of us would be happy if he lost the ability to moderate the forum. I don't know what you think a political forum without any moderation would look like but I don't think many of us would find it enjoyable.

I think as long as it's small, it is just fine being a private club, but if it gets above a certain size, it becomes part of public speech.

We need a method of differentiating between those mass communications companies that are capable of manipulating the public, and those which are not.

The former are a threat to our system of governance, the later are not.

Reddit has a large number of Trump supporters. They are more bold because Reddit is anonymous. Even the detractors in places like r/TrueOffMyChest (”I want to commit suicide”) seem to be pro-Trump trolls.

Thanks for this info, however, I have been trying to get on this site for 5 hours and still not successful..”Web server is down”

Do I need to adjust my tinfoil...seems rather convenient..

I think they’re having growing pains. We’ve seen similar things over the years with FR. They seem to be up at the moment.

It’s up now. I think it was down this AM.

Thanks I will try again.
