A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.

For what it's worth, i agree with you.

It seems we are a minority though, everyone is talking about safe spaces.

I suspect what they really want is a leftist echo chamber.

Haha, the feelings mutual. I lurked on Reddit , having imaginary arguments with strangers and never quite commenting.

If you see one of the comments on this thread , both of what we said as examples could be misconstrued for violence. Certainly didn't think before i wrote it.

We're both learning , friend 👍

Oh you're certainly right, i was just thinking about windows in the 2 examples above!

Jesus Christ, I'm not a tankie 😄

I'm a 'reddit is too ban friendly' guy.

I also mentioned in another comment that the false equivalency example might not have been too great. Hope you see where I'm coming from.

Totally agreed. They've been too ban friendly lately, I'm sure it's only gonna be worse.

I also agree it's a false equivalency, just a not so good example of how arbitrary mods can be.

Ah yes, the other side of the same 'censorship' coin 😉

Let's flip the argument around. Lets say i wrote:

'if people started flying rainbow flags on their cars in my country , I'll keep a baseball bat in my car'

Do you think i deserve to be perma banned for 'advocating violence'?

Fuck u/gallowboob

Did you just censor the word douche?

'Easy! Just use AI or something. You nerds figure it out!'

Oh man , that is disappointing.

I'm certainly not a 'right-winger' , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what 'hate speech' means .

That doesn't sound 'federated' to me!
