On our WIN these rejects get banned on sight. They add nothing to the conversation.
If these people weren't "banned on sight" we would get more practice at countering their narrative, and would be better prepared to engage in the debate in the more hostile environment of TDW.
That is the problem with censorship of opposing ideas. It never really works out well for anyone. The Debate is the path to the Truth. Censorship of ideas expressed in earnest, no matter what those ideas may be, prevent the debate. Preventing the debate can only ever prevent stepping forward on the path to Truth.
I didn't say "censor nothing" I said we shouldn't censor opposing ideas engaged in earnest. Censoring people who come here specifically with the intent to harm, or AI's, etc. is a different thing entirely.
You need to draw the line somewhere.
Sure, "somewhere" is the key point. Censoring opposing ideas, which is exactly what this post states, simply because they are opposing ideas is not the right line.
I'd be more involved on this site and trusting if cats didn't delete my first post exposing a certain children show creator as a pedo. So cats will never not be sus to me. They sure are good at playing the long game, I'll give them that.
So I just lurk and comment occasionally. Been part of the movement since r/T_D 2015 but apparently that counts for nothing cause we have a glorified reddit mod who tries to personally be the face of the board out of ego.
I mean they can say I'm wrong but actions speak louder than words. Which is funny cause their go to deflection is my lack on involvement on the board. Intentionally ignoring the fact that they are the sole reason for it. 🤷♂️
Tl;Dr: overstepping your authority is a quick trip to eroding any hope of trust from fellow truth seekers, especially when done to those who have already endured hatred, harassment and censorship from every other tech platform under the sun. Plain and simple. You'd think they'd be more mindful.
