Who knew that Sweden and Poland would be leading the fight for free speech?

They are not accommodating all the public. They are discriminating.

If that is the standard then so is Walmart if they don’t allow me bring my bullhorn in to recite the star spangle banner

Same with this board

Does Walmart allow any of the public to use the bull horn? Is the speaker system for public use?

Same with this board? Are you sure?

They wouldn’t allow anyone to do that… since it is against their rules in their store.

Does this site have rules? Is it moderated?

A society that forces private platforms to publish speech that they don’t want is “classic Liberalism”?

Again, trying to shut The Box. Liberalism didn’t create public accommodation. Liberalism didn’t cross the line between public and private.

Liberalism wrote

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Emphasis mine.

I will even agree that liberalism incorporated it to state and local government given the unfulfilled promise liberalism made in the DOI.

What I will not agree to is that it was liberalism who pushed it into the private sector.

Sorry dude. This is a load of nonsense.

The calculus of complaints do not add up.

It would seem that a true “Liberal” would be advocating for personal property rights instead of taking a position that couldn’t be further from it just because of hurt feelings.

TDS Thread
Fever Dreams Thread with time expiration for posts

The slop thread is still open. And I believe you can start a thread in Fever Dreams and Tin Foil Alley. I could be wrong about that.

What you see there is the result of trying to troll the Politics Forum. Unless you violate the TOS, you’re thread is allowed, just not where you want it.

By moving posts to those threads, YOU (the mods) defined the posts as “trolling”, thereby rendering a judgement as to its factualness or worthiness of discussion.

There is absolutely nothing objective about the process you use to do this…you simply do it.

As is the right of mods on a free platform offered to us by Sean Hannity to do.

Is that what Twitter is doing? No, it is not.

@PurpnGold

Yes. Yes. Is it moderated with regards to the identity group of the poster? No, it is not.

[PurpnGold]

@WuWei

Sure it is. Does Twitter guarantee application of its rules in an even and consistent manner?

I’m sure some Walmart stores would allow it, but it would be against the rules either way.

@WuWei

Yes. Yes. Is it moderated with regards to the identity group of the poster? No, it is not.

Neither is Twitter.

Trolling Politics. The posts are still there in public view.

There is objectivity in the process. The TOS.

Mods don’t have rights, we have delegated authority.

You don’t get to jump back across the “private” line after forcing me to bake a cake.

Funny, no one has asked me the question.

Application of the TOS are no more objective than what Twitter or Facebook has done. Guarantee you if we take a random sampling of posts that have been moderated and check them against the literal text of the TOS we are going to see plenty of “anomalies”.

You know…a statistical process…the proper way to uncover evidence of bias.

Which surely exists in the moderation crew right now, seeing as there is no moderator on site that has left-leaning political views.

No, they have the right to privacy. You have the right to be concerned with yourself and the right to your own privacy.

If you, or they, want to know something about your individual case, you are more than welcome to ask. And it happens frequently.

I almost wish I could, you would probably be surprised. Your perception is not reality.

You can’t guarantee any such thing. You feel that is the case. Just like they feel it is their case.

The cries of conservative social media censorship are about as credible as their cries of voter fraud, and has the same amount of data backing it up.

It’s imaginary persecution.
