It's scary to me how many people, who see themselves as free thinkers, are willing to limit speech. Particularly in nations that are known for their free speech.

And be promptly ignored.

I agree it's disgusting but I'm fine with letting them have their space. I don't have to participate, after all, and they can't force their content on me.

If you hate someone because of their skin color, what are you?

The fucked up part is that a lot of people don't even *care* about the hypocrisy.

Lmao "nonewnormal users are antiscience!" - witches

Hell of a way to create an echo chamber even beyond the control of the users' votes.

Well you see, if it doesn't align with the proper narrative, it is dangerous to said narrative.

Haven't you heard? Those aren't *real* black people.

You want the mods of r/redditcensors to start censoring.

Backlash. They got called out on it and the Streisand effect ensued.

Dissent.

Well duh, it's a TIME TO HEAL. UNITY. Agree with us or you're the problem.

Probably just on the "new" redesign.

Gotta maintain those high fear levels.

Riots?? People have a right to protest! /s

I was referring to legal ways of preventing it. I can't speak of what the other guy meant by dragging him out of office, but it does seem to suggest violence.

Has he overstayed his term yet? And if he were to attempt it, do you genuinely believe the rest of the nation would just throw up their hands and say "well I guess that's how it goes!" and let him?

And how are you being oppressed?

It's really not. You're just the type who prefers to silence those you disagree with.

I understand what's going on and support the protesters. I do not consider rioting and looting your own (or anyone else's) community a valid form of protest, that is just selfishness and anarchy.

I agree. But that's the only reason I can see why they *moght* have nuked them.

Because of transphobia. Naturally. It's everywhere! /s

Post an anti trump joke. I bet it stays.

Yeah, I don't lean very heavily on that sub. It's far too political for something that shouldn't be. And they seem to like to instill and propagate fear. Everyone should be concerned and try to get informed, but not terrified.

It's also a synonym for brat.

Twat? I didn't here you?

They're trying to keep themselves looking squeaky clean in case reddit decides to quarantine.

So it's okay to censor even the benign ones because there weren't more? Small groups of dissenters are so much easier to censor lol! /s

I would argue that being downvoted is a form of censorship. Just because it's perpetuated by the people who frequent the sub (and probably some bots) doesn't mean they aren't consciously trying to hide dissenting opinions or even worse, prevent people from even sharing such opinions in the first place.

My only caveat to that argument is that when you curate content, you become the publisher of all content on your site.

Have you *seen* that sub? The vast majority of the content is low effort and not funny.

Well, opinions they don't like are.

Seeing that argument made is infuriating. It in no way invalidates the td poster's argument, but for those who "call them out" it seems to magically make themselves rightcheous and the td poster scum of the earth.

Careful. That kind of talk will get you quarantined.

Not there.

As yes. Because there are *tens of millions* of literal Nazis on reddit all day long.

He's not making an excuse. He's saying if you don't like that sort of content then don't seek it out. As to the content of your comments: They are disgustingly racist, but none of them are calling for violence which is why the sub was banned.

Yeah, because those evil whiteys don't deserve rights. I disagree with the sub almost entirely, as it appears full of racist bullshit, but to make a sub that appears to be against all whites having rights is just inane.

Out of curiosity, do you prefer the flavor of fear that CNN or WaPo peddles?

Holy shit. They're right. The left can't meme.

Holy shit. They're right. The left can't meme.

Don't be silly. Facts have been hateful for years.
