"Quelled" implies an extremely uncomfortable level of centralized power. Of course, any individual user should be able to opt in and out of sources at will.
- consumer451 3y ago> "Quelled" implies an extremely uncomfortable level of centralized power That's just reality. It should make you uncomfortable. There used to be thousands of newspaper editors who decided what we read. There were diverse views. Today a few network & platform owners have an extreme amount of power to decide what we read. For example, this post was on the front page, then suddenly an admin broke known HN rules and just removed it from the feed entirely. I have never seen this occur before. Later it was flagged, but an admin matching pg's temperament just yanked it to begin with.
