Is there any popular site on the net that hasn't degraded into a far-left echo chamber that eliminates all dissent? It's downright dystopian to not even be allowed to civilly disagree.

I've thought about it, but from what I've seen, IP address isn't something they really put a lot of weight on, because it's so easy for people to change nowadays. They use a variety of techniques, from browser fingerprinting to behavior tracking. Clearing the cache and installing an extension that blocks browser tracking seems to do just fine for now, though.

Even still, I literally just got another account suspended from all of Rerddit for "hate", though they actually linked to my wrongthink this time. My crime was suggesting that people of different races aren't so different and alien from each other that we can't understand and relate to each other (on a post telling white people they can't have an opinion about the Will Smith Oscars thing). It's apparently hatefully racist to suggest that black and white people are both the same kind of human...

No warning... No second chances... Just immediate permanent suspension for a single comment they don't like. I'm wondering if any humans actually review these or if it's an automatic process after someone "reports" a comment.

Sounds like a good call. I should look into that as well, thanks for the reminder. I know there's some level of tracking of supposedly anti-trans profiles using Shinigami Eyes, but I haven't looked into that much.

What the fuck lol. I sincerely hope that was caught by a filter rather than a human being who is that lacking in critical thinking skills and/or empathy.
