- leereeves 11y agoI was wrong, it's not ironic at all. Censoring a post criticizing censorship is perfectly consistent. Though not entirely consistent with their statement that "we do protect the right of people to express their views".

- leereeves 11y agoThat statement was posted 10 hours ago in their official announcement of these bans. Would remaining true to their statement for one day really have killed them on the hill?
