Maybe it will dawn to them that mods are actually useful in social media, and that 100% free speech has its drawbacks.

Jihadists flood pro-Trump social network with propaganda
GETTR, the new platform started by members of the former president’s inner circle, is awash with beheading videos and extremist content.

It is beautiful that modern technology allows terrorists and nationalists to battle it out online, while bypassing all of us normal people.

Now we just got to get the tankies on there and cordon the place off. They will have their own internet island.

I may be imagining this but I've noticed tankies/axis resistance borrowing some articles from conspiracy/conservative sites and basically using the same tropes against globalism and neoliberalism. Nationalists don't like globalism for anti-immigrant/protectionist reasons and tankies/axis resistance dislike globalism because of the foreign policy/interventionism aspect of neoliberalism. So you quite often find them agreeing on "evils of globalism/liberalism"

Jihadists may in fact be more pro-neoliberal because of the support they got during the Arab Spring from the West and be angry that Timber Sycamore got phased out during the Trump admin.

That's horseshoe theory for ya - both extremes find common ground in hating the normal middle, just different parts of it and for different reasons, and they come together to try to tear it down.
