i can only speak for myself but i'm always glad to support competition and open platforms and if they throw racists off their platform that's a plus for me

Many economic and software freedom related things wrong with proprietary stores or Google but that they deplatform reactionaries isn't one of them as far as i'm concerned




It seems you’re against people having a freedom to express themselves and exchange ideas. Historically denying this freedom accompanies authoritarian societies where propaganda and echo chambers make it seem like these actions are virtuous when they are actually not. Even the word “reactionary” is pejorative and was used widely in Soviet Russia and in China during the cultural revolution. Isn’t it better to let ideas be heard and debated even if controversial or disagreeable?
