Many, many people are absolutely arguing that zero moderation is appropriate.

Anyway, you also acknowledge that some moderation is both appropriate and necessary. So, now we know your opinion of a private company’s moderation is different from the parent commenters, but you both believe moderation is necessary — and then you call them an authoritarian fascist.

Your comment is incredibly inappropriate.

Hardly.

Moderating bot accounts and frivolous antagonists (by virtue of repeated defamation/inflammatory speech) is appropriate. Those are not in the same vein as restricting speech. If a bot account is openly listed as such with links to show it is not a human agent, then it can be openly suppressed.

This isn't a similar argument nor a difference in degree of the same position.

But I don't take your statement with any credulity based on your handle
