This is dead on correct. The problem is online most people don't have to hear what you say, they can just not subscribe or not follow you and never hear a word of what you said. This is why over-moderation on the big tech sites like Reddit, Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook is so frustrating. It goes beyond kicking someone out of the bar to not allowing someone to open a bar. And they get their moderation wrong, and I mean a lot. Unless the person they got it wrong with has a following that noticed it, they have zero chance at appealing or arguing their side.

- ayewo 6y agoI guess the parent is referring to an eventuality of getting noticed by moderators repeatedly, they kick you out of their platform completely to save them any more headaches.
- phoe-krk 6y ago> It goes beyond kicking someone out of the bar to not allowing someone to open a bar. You can open your bar just fine. Just don't expect someone else to invite people in there for you.
- mtberatwork 6y ago> It goes beyond kicking someone out of the bar to not allowing someone to open a bar. This analogy doesn't work. Anyone can open their own "bars" on the Web. Reddit and Voat are the "bars" here. Voat was created because they were kicked off of Reddit. Voat even mimics Reddit in terms of functionality.
- rchaud 6y agoI think he meant open a bar on the same property as the bar that kicked him out, in order to siphon of some of the customers.
- berryjerry 6y agoExactly. Here's another comparison. Why should cities build affordable housing? People can just go move into the forests and mountains and build houses themselves. The point is that these entities have become a necessity for doing business.
