HN users have read 1984 one too many times. It is possible to think that SV has too much power AND that they still have the right to deem what is acceptable on their own services. You can be entitled to free speech without being entitled to a platform or an audience. Despite how much HN loves to bash on SV big tech, this isn't 1984 and there are plenty of other ways to spread hate if that's what you really want to support. I'm growing really weary from all the slippery-slope/everything-is-being-censored/what-aboutism alarmist arguments. There is quite a large spectrum between "any and all speech is acceptable, on the platform of your choosing" and "total censorship". Let's stop pretending its a binary choice.
