/r/bitcoin was being brigaded by a person (Roger Ver) with a personal vendetta against the moderator of /r/bitcoin, and pays people to do it. The moderation policies are there for anyone to see, and if you feel like you don't have an outlet for your theories there, there are plenty of other outlets for you elsewhere.
What seems to be mostly adolescents continually scream 'censorship' without knowing the meaning of the word. Without that moderation, you get the cesspool funded by Roger Ver.

- Fantastic_T 10y agoI was one of the first people to join /r/bitcoin, and was banned years later, after the block size debate started, for being on the large block side.

- bmelton 10y ago> What seems to be mostly adolescents continually scream 'censorship' without knowing the meaning of the word. The meaning of the word, according to Wikipedia: Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions. If members of a subreddit are engaging in the suppression of ideas they consider objectionable, that is censorship. Smart people understand that there is no actionable defense against such censorship, but lacking an actionable defense doesn't diminish its status as censorship to something lesser. Similarly, it's still censorship whether done by the government, reddit, or Bob's Corner Bakery.
