A body needs an immune system and cell-walls.. a society needs borders, police, entry checkpoints and walls.
Absent any of these things, the entity is overrun with hostile foreign/external influence or infection, sickens, weakens, and dies. Millions of years of evolution didn't arrive at this arrangement just by accident, its because the weaker variants without these protections did not survive.
Take a single example where an infiltrator can post illegal content and then complain about said illegal content to authorities to get the site banned, blacklisted, deleted, deplatformed. Exactly in the same way how any civil and peaceful gathering can be attacked and ended by sending in violent undercover instigators.
Maybe in an ideal world this unceasing vigilance wouldn't be needed, but we do need it, and we need it now.
They were banned for calling out a specific moderator for not only making ridiculous rules about ones ability to post content, but broke their own rules multiple times to the point where they were being called out and quoted by multiple users.
The moderator in question stickies their own posts to the front page, while deleting content of others in similar format.
That is the definition of a gatekeeper. Keeping anyone from getting too close to specific topics by deleting and suppression, which is exactly why we are here instead of on reddit..
Ok thanks for the detail and additional clarification. Thats a story I didn't see and if the mod team have indeed allowed rule-breakers in their own clique that doesn't exactly speak to the quality of said mod team.
Have you tried messaging them to make sure they were aware?
This also works for the society as a whole. This is how Deep State enforcement agencies like FBI and SDNY selectively enforce laws on people they dont like and keep everyone in line.
