🌚 Nlggers I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug - that we should create communications technologies that allow people to send whatever they like to each other. And when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back - both politically through protest and technologically through software.

💎 2083uunx88nx39x 100%, and I wanted to comment on your name: I like it but I have a background as to why. I have a really diverse set of friends and since we were kids we constantly called each other the most offensive shit we could think of. Why? Dumbass kid stuff. But, I firmly believe that that's one thing that brought us together and 30 years later we're still tight. Basically it feels like it puts everyone on the level you know?

A small team joking with each other while working :) So maybe we are also the "result" of past experiences as you describe...

🗨️ Fui I think the censorship is the problem word there. If moderation does not come from within (as it happens so often), it has to come from without. In that sense, it's not censorship, but a higher reason.

🌚 Nlggers I disagree. The viewpoints held predominantly by people with the power to apply despotic top down solutions implementing their own moral judgements on what can and cannot be said are themselves constantly shifting. It may very well be the case that you find your own points of view removed given they fall out of favour with those who are in control.
