Free speech cannot be sacrificed. We’ll lose everything.
- neuronic 6y agoI support some extremely limited baseline censorship. Pretty much just "don't incite violence or get people harmed/killed". But I guess you need a World War ravaging your continent first to get there.
- dtoma 6y agoYou're posting this on HN, a platform that has moderators and doesn't allow certain things to be said. So you implicitly agree that there is a trade-off between free speech and ability to live in a community.
- NDizzle 6y agoNo, not really. I’ll put up with draconian and biased moderation to skim curated tech articles in the morning before I start my day. Don’t confuse that with how exist in society.

- dtoma 6y agoUnlike the people in this comic, I'm actually making a point, which you seem to have missed: community, by necessity, doesn't work with absolute freedom. What matters is what we agree to compromise over and why we do so.
