  Anything that broke the "echochamber" is what got downvoted but this was never strictly about downvoting it was about moderation so im not sure why you shifted the focus to downvotes. We know you're trying to essentially say the people who got downvoted or moderated deserved it because they said things so "bad" they deserved to be moderated. I'm not sure that's always true or even mostly true.

  You're right that free speech typically means the ability to speak freely without government intervention but I think you're being obtuse if you don't see how those implications could be limited by corporations online and if you're comfortable with censorship online not being democratically decided upon that's cool but I don't trust the corporations as much as you do i guess.

  You need free speech to ensure teachers don't get fired for teaching science. I'd be care about removing that ability from other roles and people just because you disagree with the premise.

  In that sense, at least they are transparent a put being authoritarian. There are too many "populist left" spaces where those things aren't spelled out and you'll be banned for a vague rule that could be anything and everything. I despise when they don't give transparency to their rules and how they enforce them. It's generally bad too imo. That being said, mods have a hard fucking job admittedly and they aren't paid.

  Are you in favor of firing teachers who day things that go against common popular teachings in an area?

  Your mocking of this situation makes me feel you'd be in favor of laws that fire teachers for teaching evolution for example.

  Thats not a very good argument at all. You're literally stating "well since majority agrees with it, it must mean somethings wrong with you." How could possibly think this is healthy or goodm

  I think its mistake to simply play these folks off as people who want to say racial slurs or something.

  There's ways to "not follow the hive mind" without getting banned. There's a reason why daily wire is able to be on YouTube and reddit for example.
