> Moderation just leads to censorship
I welcome censorship on my personal site because I control the censorship.
Likewise I'd like the option of controlling the conversation for responses to my posts. You're welcome to say whatever you want about me - under your own threads.
You're not going to get much sympathy if your stance is censorship = bad
> Upvote / downvotes are good enough on their own
Not sure I've seen this work. It's not good enough for Reddit or HN, both of which have heavy moderation.

- PaulHoule 2y agoIf I couldn't run my own site with social features and reserve the right to kick anybody out just because I probably wouldn't run a site with social features. For a small site the argument is that there are many other small sites you could go to if you got kicked out of one or the other. For a site like Facebook or YouTube, however, it starts looking more and more like an essential public utility. I think of a case in my town where there is a person who is being a real jerk to their neighbors who run a "BiPOC garden". They've filed a federal discrimination case which probably won't accomplish anything because discrimination law applies to landlords, employers and similar gatekeepers -- like the stork said in this book https://www.paperbackswap.com/Nuts-Nightingale-Sweet-Jacquelyn-Reinach/book/143219/ https://www.paperbackswap.com/Nuts-Nightingale-Sweet-Jacquel...
