We really need to avoid a future where censorship is regarded as a virtue and monopolized transit providers are "cancelled" or shamed into being the judge/jury/executioner.

The far better solution is just to ignore stuff you don't agree with, go outside, and move on with life.

If your opinion that I don't agree with is somewhere in "the government shouldn't demand such high taxes" or "children can be homeschooled" I'll gladly and peacefully share a society with you.

If your opinion that I don't agree with is somewhere in "you should have legal rights to be a Nazi" or "you should be able to advocate agains't democracy" then I'm 100% in favor of said censorship.

It's like this on basically every country except the USA and we're doing just fine.

The current state of Hacker News, where an audience that should know better advocates for censorship with vague reasons. No, censorship is never good, you are not able to have a free society with it.

lol, no we don't. Hosting providers have always had terms of service, and private enterprise does not need to adhere to government-level definitions of free speech.

Elon algorithmically censors me on twitter and makes everybody reads his xeets, this is the opposite of free speech, it is censorship and propaganda.
