The censorship is cranked up on every site now, presumably due to fear of retaliation from this admin.

They are hyper online, and threaten any companies business deals if they feel slighted.

Its why you can get banned on reddit now for quoting the president.

Yep, I got a three day ban from Reddit for directly quoting JFK (and nothing else) in my comment.

I even attributed it.

This site has always been easy to co-opt to fascism with their supposedly apolitical outlook. Flagging from unknown accounts easily kills stories of importance, even where they have relation to the supposed interests of the site. Such as the AI altered image being posted by the White House this week.

The idea we have to treat arguments in good faith like the other user in this story excusing fascist death squads show how well this moderation approach aligns with the Thiel-ite sympathies.
