I mean, on one hand, it's like, yes, free speech is important and an infringement upon that free speech is bad. However, they aren't "infringing" on your free speech, they are just removing the platform, if that makes sense. You still are allowed to say what you like, just discord can suppress what you say on their platform. Be it advertisers, or board members, they want to make their platform as appealing as possible, which means that if it comes out that certain "public undesirables" post "questionable content" that isn't illegal under law, but is undesirable content to them because they feel it promotes a specific message, then they will remove it. Best case is to either deal with the rules they've put in place, or find a different hosting platform. I agree, it isn't a good thing to selectively censor items on a platform even if they do own it, but in the end, they do own it. They have the right to moderate what does and doesn't sit on their platform.

Yes, let's allow people of subreddits to plan to overthrow the government. After all, subs can do whatever they want.

Why not let them be? It'd be hilarious to watch people "storm the bastille" into a hail of 5.56, more so if they went full robespierre and started executing "traitors to the revolution". United States would be conservative for the next sixty years if they "pulled" that cringe shit.

Pretty good research into this. Do you know if there is a concrete way to get at voting data, otherwise they aren't "breaking" any rules, just posting through bot accounts. Will advertisers flee if the "primarily political" posts run into higher frequency and more rampant posting on several subreddits? Because if this is allowed on march, and t_d isn't, that'd be hilarious. They'd obvy circumvent this, and it'd just escalate. Now what would be true bot mastery would be kicking this into high gear, with mass vote manip and posting on both sides, that'd be a real spectator sport. Oh well, reddit has been shit for a while. Can't wait for the next semi-anon public forum to spring up.
