"A place for all content types - No matter what you make, Nonio is equipped to support it. With no advertisers, you aren’t at risk of having your content demonetized."

How far are you willing to go to defend this? There's been lots of technical talk in this thread so far, but I'm curious on this portion.

So far I'm LOVING the UI. I actually think you should drop the payment part ASAP and just push for more users in the standard social media format.

I also think a staggered release of new "tags" is a fantastic idea, but needs to scale ASAP (until the site is ready for users to create their own hashtags/subreddits)

EDIT: After using this more, it's so exciting and fun to see something so new and fresh. It really feels like I'm back in 2010.

Obviously I can’t defend “all content types” to the level that say, the darkweb can. I’ll still abide by the law. That said, I don’t have the pressure of ad networks to filter out content.

I still have pressures however. Using Stripe and credit cards for payment processing means I have to ensure the sites primary purpose isn’t adult content, as if that content dominates its very likely Stripe will choose to no longer do business with me. I can still support it, but it can’t be the primary purpose.

Also thank you for the kind words about the UI! Poured a lot of love into it, but I’ve got a lot of work to go for non-chrome browsers.

Are you going to Gab levels of defense? Their stance has been "if it is legal speech in the US, then it is allowed on the platform" is one that grates many people the wrong way. It allows for blatant racism, science denial, questioning of hallowed institutions, holocaust denial, and so on.

Thats a great question, one that I suspect few of us aside from seasoned moderators (such as dang) or platform runners are an authority on.

My current stance is to be a moderation centrist rather than an extremist. There are sharks in the waters of both unmoderated content and overmoderated content. What I'll optimize for is what will facilitate the health of the platform overall. In my eyes things like hate speech, science/holocaust denial, etc, aren't healthy for a platform. I'll almost certainly make errors along the way, like every platform does. While I believe my financial model is new and innovative, I don't have something similar for moderation. I'll be using similar tools as others, so I'll value any input anyone has here.
