You're part of the problem. Reddit needs less censorship, not more.

If someone is breaking a real-life law, then report them. Otherwise, block them and move on with your life. You're not entitled to not have your feelings hurt.

Why should people be free to insult users using the offensive words listed in the code I fixed? The list is in the post includes words like the n-word and the r-slur, that doesn't have anything to do with censorship and such. Did you even read the full list?

HN is pretty free-speech-maximalist, especially on a Saturday morning. The argument you're trying to use isn't really going to work here at this time. You might try changing your rhetoric and see if that help you out more.

If you insulted somebody with slurs, the HN community would flag you pretty quickly regardless of what day it is. I think a lot of people (some of whom are in the comments section here) purposefully pretend that there is no difference between that kind of moderation and things that more reasonably qualify as "censorship". They essentially want an excuse to express their negative emotions at other people, and look to the lofty ideals of "free speech" as a pretense to attack the mechanisms that prevent them from doing that.

I fully agree, redditors also do this when a mod says, well, literally everything.
