You freedom of speech people might want to occasionally pop up on threads that aren't about Nazis or the far right. It severely hurts my ability to take you seriously when you seem to care about free speech so selectively.
Also as I mentioned in another comment - it's very ironic to claim to care about free speech while trying to shut down someone elses criticism of someone.

- thinkingemote 6y agoFree speech allows criticism. Trying to shut down criticism is not saying "you are wrong" on HN. That's not censorship. I agree it makes you feel aggrieved but it won't be a call to arms for the free speech crowd to back you up. But its most likely that I misunderstood. Do you want people to defend your arguments or the ability for you to make your arguments? or perhaps it's about someone else? Your comment was a root level one and was not in response to anything specific so I dont have much to go upon except the reference to another comment which read, to me, like an everyday argument on HN and one where you challenged. thus, this comment about free speech seems strange.
- p1necone 6y agoThere were comments on this thread that have since been stealth edited/deleted explicitly claiming that this podcast was somehow an attack on free speech, as opposed to just not agreeing with it - I was referring to those.
- jariel 6y agoNobody on this thread is trying to 'shut down' this podcast, have them arrested, thrown off Spotify, labelling them as 'harmful' or suppressing them in any way. People are just pointing out that it's obviously ridiculous - and that's fine.
