Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Let sex workers be, you weird puritans.
"Free speech absolutist."
There absolutely should be no free speech is what he meant.
Only for Nazis
When no one can speech, speech will finally truly be free.
Hey dont insult the Puritans, they were generally egalitarian and anti-slavery, also John Brown came from a Scottish Puritan background. If you got the Puritans of old to interact with these modern fuckwads youd pribably need a hazmat team to clean up whatever was left.
While it sucks and in no way defending these actions many sites including twitch, youtube, etc typically rely on advertisers. So deprioritizing sex and violence is typically the caused due to advertisers dictating what material they want associated with their brands. Coke probably doesn't want to be associated with a person getting double teamed if they are aiming for a "family brand". eXtwitter is probably trying to appease advertisers since they screwed the pooch ever since Elon took control and they lost a ton of negotiation power. If websites thought they can make $$$ being sex worker friendly they would do it but typically the ads for adult sites have terrible payouts. This is the dangers of a "free" internet.
Have you seen what Elon tweets? He wants anything but a family brand.
And that is partially why many of their advertisers decided to fuck off. Except now they are hemorrhaging far more money, so while their head may be shooting the shit. The actual adults in the room know who feeds them.
You are very close to a realization here.
There are some things only achievable via massive corporations. You aren't going to be able to copy a youtube or twitch on a fediverse style, well technically possible but very ill advised since storing full video is pricey and the bandwidth requirements will kill the host in costs.
