Corporate Censorship Bring You Here? (infosec.pub)

Pure curiosity:

If you left reddit or another corporate platform under the banner of not being censored by their views or beliefs, what was that?

Wait. Before we open this can of worms, I'm not at all curious about an in-depth explanation of unpopular views or opinions that are generally extremist or that most reasonable people consider extreme. More of:

I left reddit or some other because they censor...?
The lemmy community is more for me because?
I reasons my instance policies or moderators are better than the other platform is?
The other platform restricted opinions or views regarding...?

If you feel like sharing, just summarize the general idea, please no indoctrination speeches.

Oh boy...

Reddit permanently banned me because I was mocking white supremacists on a subreddit made for mocking white supremacists. That happened because one of the Nazis I posted who has a giant swastika face tattoo noticed his picture on Reddit and said on Facebook he was complaining to the admins.

So Reddit is supportive of white supremacists so fuck Reddit.

I find this super interesting.

Firstly, I don't support their views in your example.

I don't like that they get to spread them. The same thing could be said about people who are anti religion against people talking about their religion. Both parties might say they don't like the other spreading their views.

If someone moched a cancer patient, we'd loose our minds.
When someone mocks supremacists, we enjoy it. They don't. The difference is our perspective.
If the mocked or bullied cancer patient contacted mods, the offending account would get banned.
If we mock one group and get banned and other mock another group and don't, isn't that being hypocritical?

Again, I have no sympathy for some hater crying about their feeling getting hurt when they post garbage, more pathetic than anything.

If we mock one group and get banned and other mock another group and don’t, isn’t that being hypocritical?

The cancer patient didn't chose to have cancer, and doesn't deliberately make the lives of other people worse. The supremacist chose to BE cancer on society, actively and deliberately making the lives of a lot of people worse, and feeling entitled to do so.

If someone acts like an asshole, they shouldn't be surprised about being treated like an asshole.
