haly has ops in #gaf irc, a place where many discussions on gaf are put on the table. Haly could very well be Evi's next mod pick, and sooner, rather than later due to Icarus leaving, but haly thinks that banning hate speech is an afront on freedom of speech. I also remind you the tone that Gaf and others describe itself to be an open community while one of its potential future mods is coming with rhetoric that banning hate speech is banning freedom of speech.
Going to be mighty interesting on how things play out if my assumption is correct, and Haly is modded.
What happens when someone uses slurs and hate speech banned in gaf chat? Or no, because "freedom of speech?" Are things different now, in this new gaf irc regime where we don't have Hito to help moderate shit and someone who has these views has Ops? Given the Haly's posts in that thread, he's giving a pretty good expose on #gaf's tone in general.
But let's not talk about that.
