That thread is pure cope. Especially this:

I am ashamed to see these people appropriating Free (as in free speech) software. Software that empowers communication MUST frame itself as open and welcoming to people of differing political beliefs (within reason), otherwise it alienates more than it empowers. When the developers actively fund and support the largest server, and constrain that server to be of such a specific and notorious political bent that is completely unrelated to software freedom, their messaging is clear.

I've never seen anyone so mad about people using free shit for its intended purpose. Ancaps should be in the circus.

If there's a single silver lining in reddit having its Viacom corporate overlords, maybe they'll block and ban an asshole proudly breaking US law to interfere with someone's freedom of speech...
