This assumes that there are no serious negative externalities to the scorched earth mentality. It’s easy to assume nothing serious could go wrong; I disagree, I think it could potentially be very harmful, and I wish we didn’t have to find out how that might happen. Of course I am not actually against every time someone gets deplatformed; I think it is reasonable from a community standpoint to, for example, ban the doomsday cult garbage. That’s not a matter of banned opinion to me, even though it leans on a gray area.
