On 4chan sure, on Reddit absolutely hecking no. On the main subs in French wrongthink comments get deleted super fast, and on one English-speaking about a hobby it's an immediate ban.

- miiiiiike 3y agoIndiscriminate banning/blocking is the thing that turned me off most social media. I don’t post anywhere but HN so my profiles are always bare. Starting something like 5 years ago I’d follow someone and within a day, flip a coin, on tails I was banned or blocked. I eventually deleted the last of my social accounts. They turned into places where strangers were just there to torment each other or receive unconditional praise.

- racked 3y agoI gave 4chan a shot again after reading your comment. Seriously the first post that I found was: https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/464559056 https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/464559056 How do you filter out the stuff that's clearly coming from insecure teenage brains? I don't mean literally filtering it as in censoring it, I mean how do you read/navigate this forum in a way where you don't constantly have to read over childish shite?

- racked 3y agoAppreciate you taking the time to show me around. There's some interesting (very politically incorrect) views on there. :-) True, I also feel that HN overmoderates genuine critical debate, and the high barrier for allowing downvoting has always confounded me. There are some very smart people around here though. I understand the need for rules to avoid the kind of silly trolling you get on 4chan.

- fire_lake 3y agoPart of this is ok if the sub has specific purpose and bringing all sorts of identity politics (from any perspective) is a distraction from the topic at hand. Similar to how blocking spam is not a free speech issue. The problem is when there are no avenues for controversial discussion left, which would be the case if the tech megacorps controlled every platform (as they nearly do)
- damsalor 3y agoNah. Corps just want money. It’s the politically connected prudes that ruin it for everyone
