What's the irony?

😂 no you

Instead of focusing on ONE positive and acting as if all the negatives are automatically outweighed by that one positive.

Suddenly, I was again able to look at an animal and see a being just like myself.

Bit of a stretch there.

Yes it does. It's China, and then a bunch of unrelated ignoramuses.

There should really be an option to simply hide posts...

I think you have issues with reading comprehension. I haven't bitched anywhere about any defederation, moderation, censorship or whatever done by instance owners.

Obviously, it's up to them and can lead to better content. It can also lead to echo chambers, but that's an implementation detail.

All I did was point out that censorship is not free speech. Free speech is an ideal that doesn't work in the real world, and it's fine to admit you're not open to everyone having free speech.

An instance owner can do whatever they want for their own instance.

Calling censorship free speech to make yourself feel better doesn't make it true though.

cool story bro, why do you think it's relevant?

Amazing.

"I'm censoring people so that I can promote free speech!"

Just admit that it's not free speech. That's just a roundabout way to justify your decision when there's no justification required.

Not sure how you got to that answer. Censorship isn't free speech.

No one has to support free speech. Just own it instead of making up rubbish like "I'm actually censoring to promote free speech"
