       | Sure you can. It's the easiest thing really. You can simply click
       | or swipe away.

       | Seems like the same old thing? You are doing the same thing that
       | every other tech company is doing but pretending to be different?
       | It's like all these tech companies copied and pasted their rules
       | from a single source.

           | We did. And we would if people like you didn't try to ruin it
           | for everyone.

           | Reddit became a cesspool because of censorship advocated by
           | people like you.
