       Liberalism (not Neo anymore) yields criticism over the elected government of a state stripping away privatized control over a jurisdiction to a privately held corporation because of the current political alignment of that government.

       Because this is the only "scream into the void" social media I even use anymore.

       Hot take: If the subreddit you moderate stays up for the entirety of the protest, per https://reddark.untone.uk/, then the subreddit you moderate has bad moderation and people should unsubscribe from it.

       @vees I recommend the Schlage Connect Z Wave locks. No need for off prem infra, work well,  multiple security pins per lock, falls back as high quality deadbolt. Can actuate only off zwave or with combos

       @Radical_EgoCom Your analogy is interesting but it's also a step along the path (and I don't believe it's a shallow one) toward authoritarian constraints on expression.If a collective community includes individuals with these beliefs; how is the community coherent with its members when some of the members' expression is suppressed?What basis is there for correctly identifying expressions that are harmful beliefs? "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"These lines of reasoning centralize power in some individuals and strip it from others.

       @Radical_EgoCom I am saying that we lack a sufficiently principled tool to restrict them with.In a hypothetical world where we can objectively muzzle only socially harmful speech and it never gets corrupted to muzzle other harmful speech? There's an interesting discussion to have!But without those tools; completely censoring fascists expressing their enthusiasm for fascism everywhere in the society is how we institute the ability to marginalize and silence all manner of groups, including ones who are not fascist. Including ones who are marginalized and silenced today.That being said restrictions against e.g. state muzzling of communally harmful expression is a different question than e.g. smaller community rejection of harmful speech. There's space for "talk shit, get hit"
