- ThrowawayR2 6y agoThe answer is simpler than that: make political affiliation a protected class. California, New York, and D.C. already have such laws; see https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-employers-discriminate-based-on-political-beliefs-or-affiliation.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-employers-discri... Extend these laws nationwide and cancel culture can be nipped in the bud.

- tootahe45 6y agoAnd the remaining 'anonymous' sites like Reddit will shadow ban you at -10 karma or so, so it's completely pointless posting anything controversial.
- shadowgovt 6y agoI believe that's working is intended. Reddit doesn't particularly want controversial opinions, at least, not controversial enough for most people to signal they hate them. Because that generates a clear signal to Reddit that most people hate that content, and people who hate the content don't come back. As with face-to-face human interaction, the trick is to start by reading the room.
