You may not want their speech (HN management does not either) but that doesn't make shadowbans good for discourse. It's good to limit speech you do not want sure. But not good for getting alternative views on things.
- sph 4y agoIt's not alternative views that are shadow banned. It's people on a Rust post ranting about the current US president, for example. It's Terry A. Davis (may he rest in peace) throwing insults at Jews and black people during one of his fits on this forum. Not all ideas are not all equally worthy. The hard problem always is "who decides what is worth and what isn't?", but "everything is worth something" is too simplistic an answer, in my opinion.
