    Tbh I prefer “censorship” over wide spread fascism. Or I would but the fascism is still rampant on reddit

      I’m ok with the platform having open speech, so long as I can find communities within the platform that have basic rules of decorum. If I can’t filter out people, like the assholes I have to interact with at my workplace, to actually engage in intellectual discourse without it revolving into this racial slur or that political opinion, I’ll just find somewhere else to spend my time.

        Oh stop it, you’re more than intelligent enough to understand the difference between constitutional free speech and forum discourse.

        Censorship is fascism when it’s the government that does it. When it’s a forum then it’s other people telling you that your a fucking asshole.

        Free speech is not freedom from consequences, or freedom from judgement.
