To summarize:

  • If someone is sperging and you don’t care for it, you can block them.

  • If a mod banned you from a subverse for whatever reason, you can block yourself from seeing the posts you are not allowed to participate in.

  • These unequal ideas are presented as equivalent.

  • Triggly did not like that srayz shared a private conversation. This means she is an emotional woman.

  • You, Crensch, are no longer an iconoclast [n. A person who attacks cherished beliefs or institutions]

  • Some Qtards are good people.

Am I close? I think I’m close.

I think 1 and 2 are equal presented with the context of the platform itself. At the discretion of proper modship, they should be able to ban anyone who's a disturbance to the public space. Like a pervert exposing himself in public. They would be removed from wherever they are.

They are objectively not the same. 1 puts the power in the hands of the individual. 2 puts the power in the hands of a gatekeeper.

They (1&2) also serve different purposes, though there is overlap.

How did you land at Voat? I am not here because I was banned from elsewhere. But I wager the case majority are.

I wandered here from the r/conspiracy subreddit as McBitches.

So you weren’t censored. I have to imagine OP was censored elsewhere. But I forget his origin story after all this time.
