If you read messages from the moderators, its normally not about censoring, it's more about keeping up with moderating content. That sub is heavily brigaded (I saw some based that was at 17% upvote). And any sub that has toxic comments on it will be removed by the admins. Going flare only makes their job way easier.
- yifanl 6y agoIf the only thing it takes for censorship to not be censorship is that it'd make the lives of those in charge easier, then censorship doesn't exist.
- jackson1442 6y agoSaying this implies that anyone can get a flair, so long as they are not brigading. This is not true, even according to the moderator comments. "Only mods can assign User Flair, and User Flair is only for conservatives"[0]. So no, going flair-only is explicitly to silence those of differing opinions. Don't get me wrong, they are well within their rights to do so, it is _their_ subreddit, after all. However, if they're going to dance around and act like a bastion of free speech, maybe it's time for some introspection.
