    This comment makes no sense. Another tactic is polluting discussions with nonsense to derail the conversation.

    Not gon'o lie: I thought he was the Americans bot at first.

    Seems /u/Ilubalu is mainly thinking out loud, rather than making an explicit point.

    Regarding one of his/her points, I've been curious about the way in which this post-Reddit 'free speech' news aggregator website functions, if it's so easy for the alt-right, or also 8Chan folks, to manipulate the discourses. It's also been interesting to see the moderates come and go. I am, howver, impressed with the admins, for keeping the website management somewhat simplified.

    Always front and center defending the website disruptors, this account is.

    Doesn't make sense.

    I actually agree with you here.

    if it's so easy for the alt-right, or also 8Chan folks, to manipulate the discourses.

    He's implying that "it's not his fellow leftists" who are canceling and censoring people off the internet.

    If that was his only point then I'd change my mind to disagree, but his obvious one-sided bias and omission excluding the Leftist asstrolls doesn't negate the fact that the discourses are manipulated - or at least they try.

    Also, the "simplified management" has its pros and cons.

    It appears to be a criticism of "lovers of freedom and capitalism", and the claim is that "freedom is threatening". Implicit in this context is that freedom of speech should be curtailed, and regulated.

    The OP is about spam and thus "freedom to abuse and disrespect". I didn't read that "freedom of speech should be curtailed" or calling for censorship so much as simply stating that freedom has its pros and cons.
