I'm sure kiwifarms and stormfront will appreciate this service. Read between the lines in the FAQ.

The name alone strongly suggests that. I am willing to bet they will drop any LGBT sites with no hesitation.

I'm kinda embrassed to say that I used to think "based" meant : "a person who's is a purist in terms of their tech tools choices.. Like they use Debian or Arch, and GNU/Linux Mobile.. Or ReplicantOS... like Only FSF approved software... A person who hates mass surveillance and wants to go off the grid.."

when I understood what it meant, I was disappointed 🙄

Love their ‘terms of service’ and complete lack of privacy policy (at least for me, the link is not showing any policy). Whoever pays for this nonsense gets what they deserve.

the terms of service in question, reproduced in their entirety for those too lazy to look it up (or in the extremely likely event that this service disappears after approximately 2 months without offering refunds):

  1. We make no guarantees of any kind.
  2. We offer no warranty express or implied.
  3. We are not liable for anything.
  4. This service is to be only used for legal purposes.
  5. These terms of service may change at any time with or without notice and will still fully apply.
  6. We comply with all US government agencies.
  7. By using this service you agree to all of these terms of service.

you can really tell it was written by a lawyer
