Why is it when a place claims to be for free thought and expression it's always nonsense or harmful? Why does it have to be either fascist garbage, conspiracies that make absolutely no sense, or "artistic" pictures of children (photos or drawn)?
Because no other place tolerates them so they flock to any that do. That's unfortunate reality of prioritizing 'free speech' over everything on a public internet space. You invite the baggage that comes with that.
Absolute free speech shouldn't exist. If that were the case, we'd be giving a platform to the worst of the worst. The most vile, hateful speech should not be allowed to exist in a society that claims to want safety, respect for all, and prosperity.
The idea of absolute free speech requires the tolerance of hate, which allows the intolerant to drive out ideas that don't align with theirs. See here, the Paradox of Tolerance.
Because reasonable moderation and common sense boundaries don't prevent free thought and expression for most people. So the main people that look for "free speech" communities are wild extremists or people seeking illegal material.
Loli stuff isn't exactly illegal or anything...
It is in Canada, where this instance is hosted.
Ah... Well still doesn't explain why the Nazis are still ok...
Yeah that part I can't explain. Tankies are a no go but the alt-right is a big debate?
It is in many jurisdictions and is in a quasi-potentially-illegal gray area in the US where there have been several federal convictions over it.
Hm.
It is in my country
