This argument is too general. "Majority dislike what you do (even if not illegal) -> can pull out all stops to bring you down" is a very bad principle. Just look at the treatment of gay people in the 50s.

Asshole is also pretty subjective.

That's a bold claim to make that angry twitter mob is a majority. Keep in mind, the deplatforming you're celebrating today might have people you like at the receiving end tomorrow.

> Act like an asshole and you end up getting taken down. Who could have guessed?

Ah, but you see, there's a lot of right-wing HN posters here who disagree with this. They believe that acting terrible should be free from all consequences, social or legal, because ... well, I won't speculate.

They might have lived a life in which they have never had to feel real fear of targeted harassment online?

Hard to think of that many positions more right-wing than "corporate monopolies should be able to disappear anything you say on a whim with no safeguards" but that's the one you're endorsing.

Would it kill you to have any sort of critical analysis of power for once in your life? KF are scum but they're far from the only scum in this fight, and others are infinitely more dangerous

> Would it kill you to have any sort of critical analysis of power for once in your life?

You seem angry. Have you considered addressing that?

would be nice to have somewhere to blow off steam but the internet is down to like four or five active sites now and none of them are fun (KF wasn't either, mind)
