If the whole world engages in witch-burning, and burn a lot of innocents along with the old women who poison wells, and you build a town and loudly declare it will have no witch-hunts, then you'll get people who want to live in that town- including a lot of witches.

HN, etc. really shouldn't be "platforms" moderated by a central entity, anyway. If I like Dang's moderation, I should be able to pick and choose it. Maybe there's another potential moderator out there whose sensibilities line up more neatly with my own; I should be able to choose their moderation, too.

Decentralized/splintered moderation, that's what we need.

(I've never been on Parler. Do they actually ban people for disagreeing with them?)

(Is it possible that rejecting people from society makes them more likely to be violent?)
