Hate to be the one that says this...Why is this being posted on Hacker News? A privately operated forum is using moderation tools in ways that not everyone finds agreeable, how is this news in 2018? We have a lot of discussions on free speech but do we really need to post every single site that uses these tools to reiterate the same points? >Pro:Free exchange of ideas is being threatened and is creating an echo chamber; i don't agree with the ideas but will die for you to say it >Con: They are privately operated and the first amendment isn't a catch all for all speech; XKCD comic showing you the door... Maybe i'm cynical but most discussions just devolves to the same conversations being repeated with nothing interesting to add to the already long list of FB, Google, Go Daddy, Twitter posts/groups that have been censored/deplatformed. At this point it seems everyone already has their opinions firmly placed and nothing will really convince them otherwise.
