It's the default on reddit because you should like your own content in almost all cases.

I do it too, though I'll then change it to a downvote if I say something which is later demonstrated to be wrong.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I'll fight to the death to defend your right to say it.

No, I did not advocate for beating people to death, and I would never advocate for that. Try reading the whole post and not taking a few words out of context.

I'm no Nazi, but I get your point. What you don't realize is once the bar kicks the Nazis out, they start their own bar, and there their numbers grow. A more intelligent approach is to rationally talk with them, as Daryl Davis has with KKK members.

Hold on, I dislike authoritarianism too. Isn't it authoritarian to ban users and magazines for expressing views with which you disagree?

Even taking that paragraph out of context is misleading. The whole comment was about the purpose of freedom.

No, actually I say what I mean. You might try taking the context of the entire comment into account. It was about the purpose of freedom.

Hatred is not speech you disagree with. It's not speech that hurts your delicate feelings. It's not speech that contradicts your values. It's none of that.

I'm fine with downvotes, although I miss old-school reddiquette back when we upvoted content that should be seen, regardless of whether or not we agreed with it. But this discussion is about banning people and magazines, not downvotes.

The communist far-left calls all disagreement "hate speech". It is not hateful to speak the truth.

Woke is far-leftist neo-Marxism. What you call "far right" and "extremist" is actually normal, conservative, and Christian. What you call "hateful" is actually just truth telling.

Downvote me all you want, but you sound like naive child who hasn't learned how to engage with competing worldviews.

That's not entirely correct. For-profit companies thrive when they serve their customers well. Since Reddit's for-profit and yet its users are not its customers, the result is bad for users. But that doesn't mean companies with better business models are equally bad. The beautiful thing about a free market is that competition drives bad companies out of business.

Pretty sure I'm the only one who'd appreciate it.
