Do you? Really? Seems like everything would just be a spam-and-troll-filled wasteland...
There's nothing that prevents the President from being one of those trolls, and there's no strong reason for any given platform to give him special treatment forever if he persists in that behavior...
- kflzufkrbzi 6y agoWhat you consider trolling might be someones genuine behavior. And your behavior can be seen as trolling by someone else. I dont want some arbitrary person or company to have the say who is trolling and who is not. Thats why I dont use facebook or twitter.
- majormajor 6y agoYou shouldn't use HN, then. There are mods here. (Which is good, just like having a bouncer at a bar - punching someone in the face may be someone's genuine behavior, but it's not very welcome.)
- foolfoolz 6y agopunching someone is assault. no one is arguing for a platform that allows illegal posts
- majormajor 6y agoYawn. Find less lazy talking points. Let's substitute "kicked out of a bar for being a loud obnoxious asshole" then, because that's also unwelcome despite not being illegal, and maps very well to trolling an online forum. You're very eager to weaken the private property rights of others, as well as to give a LOT of power to the government (legality as the only consideration) and I don't think these thing would work out for you like you hope.
