Hmm.I'd wager the vast majority of internet censorship is within platform, like that done by Reddit mods.The most egregious example I've seen in my lifetime was when old Twitter decided to censor a NYPost article, down to blocking sharing in DMs.It seems that type of example is entirely missed here. Is there any attempt to capture that signal?
If you count platform moderation as 'censorship' then there's practically no uncensored public spaces on the internet.Literally even 4chan has moderation.Nobody, not even 4chan users, want an actually unmoderated space.
I want an unmoderated space. Or rather, I want the tools of moderation to be in the hands of the users instead of a central authority.Giving an anonymous rando the power to censor my conversation is abhorrent. And it's absurd that most people are ok with that.
