Cubans cheer as internet goes nationwide for a day

What exactly did I do? I was noting that an improvement in the freedom of Cubans is hardly subjective, given the effects of the ongoing Castro period. Almost any country is freer than one which decides who can and can not communicate with the outside world, or own the product of their labour.

Where in the guidelines does it say that I have to use the driest, dullest language to describe anything or make any point?

You posted a flamey political rant. That drags down discussion quality in its own right and leads to worse from others. If that's the game you want to play, please play it somewhere else.

There are probably contexts where it's possible to have a high-quality discussion with that sort of rhetoric in it, but the open internet is certainly not one of them. It just sets things on fire, and scorched earth is boring.

Maybe it's time for an unmoderated hackernews where there is everyone, including downvotes expect this flagging thing which should only be for promotional stuff.

Lately, i am tried of moderators shutting down a thread, comments and banning users.

We could call it RedditNews, or maybe VoatNews.
