Specifically, something that allows the following item in the TOS to be removed or eased.

Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation is strictly prohibited.

Inciting 'discrimination, hate or violence' isn't my thing, but clearly it's important to many people who might contribute or increase site activity.

Free speech is an attractive ideal for me and many others - unfortunately following through with it means giving up a lot of website control.

I'm more into preservation of the community, keep costs down until we know the new server/hosting is needed/affordable. I just think of all the times Voat would post "it's the end of Voat" posts because the costs got too high too fast. The user growth on Phuks good because this site actually attracts high quality users that want build/participate which is sustainable.

We have a user attrition rate as well. Too early to tell, but the worst-case scenario is that the new server will never be needed.

User attrition will occur on any site. People come and look around and decide if the site is for them. I agree with Justintoxicated that the active base here seem to be users that are more interested in helping build a higher quality sustainable site. Hopefully that goal can be obtained while still having freedom of speech that isn't abused like it is on other sites.
