My $200 donation to a 'free speech' app vanished when they got booted from the app store
I backed a platform that promised no moderation, but they got removed for hate speech reports and my supporter tier just disappeared. Is it on us to fund these spaces knowing they might get shut down, or should the platforms have a backup plan for their backers?

Honestly, you gotta treat any money you give to those places as gone the second you hit send. Tbh, I learned that after a similar thing happened with a different app. They never have a backup plan because the whole point is they're fighting the system. It's a tough lesson, but you basically paid for a protest, not a product.

I used to think they'd bounce back, but you're right, it's just protest money now.
