My only reaction is: so?
Silencing people isn't going to make them stop thinking things and preventing discussion won't make them Good(TM) people.
The entire internet doesn't need to be sanitized.
- JohnFen 3y agoI agree with your concluding statement, but I don't think that the goal of moderating discussions is to get people to stop thinking particular things or to make them "good people." The goal is to encourage actual communication.
- ThrowAway1922A 3y agoI don't think you can pile everyone into a handful of platforms and get good communication. There's too many opposing viewpoints, too much crossover, and too much intermingling. Forums didn't have the same issue because they were often single/few topic websites and you could just aggressively remove everything off topic.
- JohnFen 3y agoYes, I agree with that completely. Above a certain threshold, it all just becomes noise.
