For real

Edit:

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with this. I believe a website or forum that is about something specific should be moderated to focus on the chosen type of content. I am merely trying to debate the merit of content that I believe is only marginally related to the stated goal of this site.

Before somebody comes in here saying that makes me just like Big Tech, I will say that Twitter and FB are a different story. They monopolize the public square and misrepresent themselves as neutral platforms. Social media should be categorized as a new type of utility that must transmit any and all messages or none at all. I believe my view is consistent. I wouldn't knock a liberal site for deleting posts that were not aligned with their content either btw.

Edit 2. I'll concede that discussion of the posts, even if ultimately dismissive, does help Trump supporters and therefore Trump.

"Nobody should assume that something is true just because it's posted here."

I agree, but I'm not saying that we should get rid of the LARPs because they aren't true. My view is that some of the more outlandish LARP posts look like trolls who are making Trump supporters the butt of a joke. That isn't exactly compatible with being pro Trump.

Just click "hide" king. I think a flair for "big if true" could be in order for speculation posting too
