We are having genuine discussion, it's just that certain people are trigger happy with flagging anything that goes against a certain narrative.
I have had multiple instances where my account was flagged because I expressed a contrarian view, and I couldn't actually participate because I was rate-limited.
No censorship also does not mean "genuine", 4chan is an example of this; virtually everything sans CSAM is "allowed", but genuine discussions are not happening because of trolls.
Ultimately, you will most likely not have a genuine discussion online, and irl you need a particular group of people who are capable of entertaining differing opinions.
In the span it took me to write this comment, GP received -3 and two other comments -4 total, proving the point.
I tried to respond to sibling chain, and to none's surprise, I have been rate-limited again and I am effectively banned from discussing anything in this thread :).

Agenda based sentiment analysis for voting and flagging can indeed be done by computers. Can we identify it? No, but it does exist in most places we go to in this digital landscape. Communities become echo chambers as malicious means are used to crush opinions that dissent from the pushed narrative. Who wants to engage in a hostile environment? Most don't and will simply isolate or try to find another community.
