Of course. Any censorship is wrong, but he already knew that and decided to do it anyway out of fear and greed.

- qarl 2y agoNo censorship leads to 4chan. I suspect there's a reason why you're making this comment right now on HN (which has censorship) rather than 4chan.
- johng 2y agoI think rules is more accurate. Censorship makes me think that you can post something that is within the rules, but if it doesn't fit the agenda it's removed. To me they are different. I run communities and we have rules. We don't do censorship though.
- qarl 2y agoHm... sounds like distinction without a difference to me. Posts get deleted because their content is disallowed by some arbitrary criteria determined by an authority.
- t0bia_s 2y agoYou confusing content moderation with censorship. Do you consider filtering porn or gore as censorship?
- qarl 2y agoYes. Removing posts based on their content is censorship, full stop. In fact, the dictionary definition of "censorship" mentions porn as one example.
- stcroixx 2y ago4chan is more general instead of being focused on a domain as HN is. However, I do prefer a fully uncensored platform as I don't trust anyone's judgement but my own regarding content.
- qarl 2y agoI think you're kidding yourself if you think something like HN could exist on 4chan.
