  • That is also, essentially, not moderated?

    Of course i do NOT want to see any pedos or other awful content. I was talking about content that follows the rules but is censored despite that.

  • Assuming you argue in good faith:

    If switching lands you in the exact same predicament then switching is no solution. the reason why i brought up feddex and ups is because none of the problems you face at feddex will be resolved by switiching to ups. just as switching from working at burger king to working at mcdonalds wont change your position.

  • I just don't think the choice between either censorship or isolation is a good one.

    Freedom of speech should also extend to social media. Of course that does not include pedos or people screaming fire in a theatre or inciting genocide.

  • If you got banned a lot of Reddit, the problem might be you.

    Or the problem might be reddit i.e. a problem reddit has with free speech:

    • reddit is like many other social media subject to campaigns of propaganda by companies, groups, state-actors.
    • bots are common place and are influencing discourse

    Social effects like mob mentality take place, so if you are an individualist and say it how it is you are going to be surpressed just for voicing a legitimate opinion.

    You clearly cannot question the prevalence of bots and large scale manipulation by bad faith actors (say for example a company that systematically downvotes or through their mods bans all unfavorable comments about flaws in their new product).

  • Somehow I can't reply to the other reply so i do it here:

    No i do not have one of those trouble-maker post histories. Most of the time the people who get banned are the ones who don't follow the hive-mind.

  • That is the same argument as: if you are mistreated at feddex why not join UPS. Is that really a solution when all instances are organized under the same structure?

  • How do you know you are not eating human flesh?

            any organization found to be using human meat in their product would be massively and permanently screwed, except maybe north korea

    that would not deter organized crime from introducing it into the supply chain maybe through shell companies

     
            human meat is a bad choice economically because farm animals have centuries of selective breeding behind them to make them ideal for consumption (pretty horrible but that’s how it’s worked out) and humans put all kinds of toxic stuff in their bodies which makes eating any human a gamble

    economically it would actually be more viable, as you would not have to pay for raising the animals or sheltering and caring for them. Instead the perpetrators could just set up a number of morgues and use the free supply of dead people. So they wouldn't pay for the meat itself would be gratis, maybe preparing it to seem presentable could incure a small cost. Say for example turning them into chicken mgnuggets or mcribs.

     
            I don’t eat veal so my risk of eating a person by accident is further diminished

    what about pork?
