Pick only one: freedom or censorship. If you don’t prioritize optimizing for freedom, why bother with something like this? Just use Reddit. It’s a lot easier to implement and (I imagine) to use.
Probably the ideal end state for services like this is to aggressively filter your own feed, not to censor the service itself.
- peteretep 6y ago> Pick only one: freedom or censorship This is a weird American meme that I wish would die off.
- 420codebro 6y agoI welcome that label and it will never die off. You would understand, if you were American.
- gruez 6y agoPlease elaborate on why he's wrong?
- kube-system 6y agoThere are forms of speech that infringe on the freedoms of other people. Therefore censorship and freedom are not a dichotomy, they are linked dependencies.
- centimeter 6y ago> There are forms of speech that infringe on the freedoms of other people. This is a nonsense authoritarian meme that I wish would die off.
- kube-system 6y agoLiterally every single legal system on the planet accepts at least a few limitations on speech when it infringes on the rights of other people. If that is authoritarian, then everywhere is authoritarian. I don't think you'll find too many people who think fraud should be protected speech, for instance.

- morceauxdebois 6y agoThe tolerance paradox
- centimeter 6y agoPopper is a retarded pseud and if you take “the tolerance paradox” seriously you should stop trying to make philosophical or political arguments. All it means if you think it’s relevant is that your personal philosophy is internally inconsistent and unstable.
- InTheArena 6y agoIf all men were angels, we would not need government. That's as simple of a truth at the heart of the American constitution as any.
- centimeter 6y agoIf you would expand on that I could explain why you’re wrong.
- peteretep 6y agoThis is a difficult conversation to have asynchronously and over text, and it’s also a difficult one to have with someone acting in bad faith. If you really want to play, please start by answering: does America currently have free speech?
