The site needs more attention from the moderators.
Respectfully, no it doesn’t.
We do not need monitors to our free speech.
If we don’t like an opine, ignore it, argue with it or refute it.
I personally don’t want a “mommy” on a site called Free Republic.
There always has been moderation at FR. Should we be able to post pornography? Moderation. FR even has a very civil “no profanity” moderation rule, you probably appreciate that without even realizing. What’s more mommying than no cursing? But it makes it a better place.
To deal with elephant in the room, the American neo-Nazis continually infiltrate and ruin any online space. It is why places like Gab fail. FR has been sliding that direction, and it needs moderation to keep it from a sad end.
