This isn't about censorship, but sensitivity. I don't see how you drew from this that the world of blogging is in peril--if you write things that generate tons of hate comments, and you don't want to read those comments, disable comments. The discussion will continue elsewhere regardless. The haters aren't even censoring themselves (I guess you could make a case that their existing biases prevent them from seriously considering opposing views, but that's not exactly "self-censorship"). If you want to solve some of the problems exemplified by this article and its responses, talking about censorship isn't the way; instead, encourage people to grow thicker skins.
- antirez 14y agoI'm not closing my blog, where I think I'll post more controversial stuff, as I've a controversial indole. Also I'm not sensible at all, the problem is, I'm realising that Twitter is becoming mostly low content replies. Among the trolling replies I got, a lot were from respectable developers, sometimes even of products somewhat related to Redis. If it's so low quality why should I stay in an environment where that's the level? I'm quitting based on quality, not as I'm offended or alike.
- Jach 14y agoMy comment about sensitivity was mostly directed at the people flipping out about what you wrote, but it's nice to have confirmation that you too aren't so sensitive that you stop writing altogether. It makes sense for you to ditch Twitter.
- zokier 14y ago> I'm realising that Twitter is becoming mostly low content replies I'm more surprised that it took you this long to realize that. That statement sounds bit like realizing that 4chan has mostly low quality comments.
