    Let’s be fair. I didn’t like the censorship either, but they backed off. Running an instance isn’t exactly a big money maker and they were afraid of getting sued or shut down somehow.

      In the US slap suits are a thing. Not sure what the EU equivalent is. It is perfectly fair to not want to deal with one of any form.

        All fair points but that’s not how they justified it.

        Took them a hot minute to formulate their response.

        Also, people were not doing anything improper everybody towed the line.

        Cals for violence can be removed. They were nuked entire threads

          I am not trying to justify any given stance. Just trying to point out that someone’s name is on the server/domain/etc and that powers that be may try to make an example out of you. It is also perfectly fair to not want to deal with that. Similar to the discussion around piracy sometime back. Its easy to be brave when you cannot be called out. I leave it to the rest of the forum to make their conclusions on the matters.
