Thanks @AilliA! I enjoyed your twitter when you had it. I'm generally lurk only on socials using nitter/redlib/newpipe so I never engaged previously. I definitely agree that most pro-freedom people fold when actually challenged to allow discussion in taboo areas. Those people often also support state-backed redistribution in one form or another. I'm not abrahamic or progressive so that can make navigating some pro-freedom water more difficult in terms of cultural fit. Generally I've found the monero guys to be cool though. Honestly, my concern wasn't around offending people (I could generally care less), moreso abstaining from certain topics out of respect for the content curation of the site. Controversy draws in a lot of garbage tier edgelords that barely understand the arguments they back, they just coalesce around them because they perceive it will confer onto them a benefit of some sort. I'll test the waters and get more controversial over time. For a fun starting point: I don't think Jesus ever existed. I am still digging into it to provide a comprehensive case, but I've found it pretty compelling so far.
