Not the proper thread for this discussion, but I don’t know if I want Reddit to stop it. Do you want free speech and all the speech you don’t like with it? Or you want heavily moderated echo chamber? It seems to me people want neither - they disdain the “ugly” opinions of people other than them, but they don’t want to feel oppressed by Big Corp choosing what is ok and what not.
The solution is having multiple silos, think YouTube channel “Second Thought” (heavily leftist content) or Parler, when we get the worst from both worlds - everybody always trying to find the smallest place that can feel safe to speak with no actual discussion between different viewpoints.
Pushing for more moderation leads to precisely this option. I believe we need less of it, even if this forces us to confront the “other side”.
