Yeah, they've seemed to stand up to a fair amount of SJW blowback. When they caved on StormFront and 8chan they both had pretty extenuating circumstances:
They shouldn't have done it, and I understand for free speech absolutists (which I'm pretty close to being) it's a big problem, but compared to Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and the rest of Silicon Valley, that's actually a decent record.
After all, 3 days before the election The Donald is now alive and well on Cloudflare and totally banned on reddit.
When I see the sort of stuff Matt Prince posts on Twitter, it puts me at ease. I think if he's in control he'd be fine. Similarly if Mark Zuckerberg was in control without all the dumb lefties around him FB would be much better. He had to cave in after Trump and it became shit. Employees were crying in the hallways and they had to offer counselling due to orange man bad.
Yeah, the inmates are running the asylum. I had heard Larry and Sergei were both libertarians (and even Rand-ites!) but they get surrounded by SJWs and have to play the game or they have a revolution on their hands. That's probably why they retired.
This is true with a lot of the big techies; Jobs, Musk, Ellison, etc. Libertarians at the top who get surrounded by leftists and have to placate them.
Possibly this would improve if they work from home more. The other thing they could do is have campuses in different states. Facebook does have Austin, TX but that's just as liberal. The leadership does have a lot of lefties as well. Hopefully Parler remains true to its values.
