I think the scale of automation and spam is far larger than any given individuals at a keyboard.

The "anything goes" forums are hardly the land of free speech and different views / ideas.



I left out the "spam" from my comment, because I agree, automated spam detracts from conversation. That's something I think 99% of people can agree on. But banning someone for mentioning firearms, or their skepticism of <insert-latest-corporate-media-push-here> is crazy to me. Same with people talking about their sexuality or whatever liberals do these days. Nobody gets banned for saying what's on their mind. And it's not the platform's job to prevent people from getting their feelings hurt.
