There was so much pressure to ban all kinds of speech and eventually I just decided to make it a free speech website. It wasn't intended to be, but it's something I believe in.

The fallout from announcing the website as free speech was big. I lost a lot of users and the attacks from the protest lasted for about a week. They posted all kinds of awful things to "prove a point."

The two column layout is kind of a pain to maintain and keep responsive. I tried going single column but I honestly just really like the format so I brought it back.

Same person, we rebranded.

You don't need to archive it. I can post it here for easier reference?

> The terms of service have been updated. With the exception of racist content, the use of slurs (racial or otherwise), targeted harassment, and incitement of violence, Squabblr is now a free speech platform.

Funny that I make this mistake on my own website lol.

Hey guys just want to say the link is https://squabblr.co, not squabblr.com. I made the classic mistake on my own website!

Awesome! Hope you enjoy!

I haven't thought about it. I don't know much about them but I'm open to the idea of decentralization. I'll take a look at them. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey, thanks for the info! How do I do a Show HN?

Hey everyone,

I've created a social media platform that lets your "tweet," but also have in-depth conversations with Reddit (and Hacker News) style commenting system. This allows you to tweet short blurbs of whatever you're thinking, or create long posts and have better and more in-depth conversations.

We launched a few weeks ago following Reddit's API apocalypse and I'm currently working on outreach.

The website is built with Laravel, Vue.js, MySQL. It runs on the DigitalOcean cloud.

Would love to answer any questions you might have!
