I honestly don't understand libertarians. they think this is part of some WoKe AgEnDa and that suppressing misinformation and hate is somehow a bad thing. these people call leftists 'utopian' yet live in a fantasy world where having a nuanced discussion in the Marketplace of IdeasTM is somehow enough to stop bad ideas from existing and doing harm. they think that social media shouldn't stop hate before it's too late, and that we should just let nazis alone in their echo chambers.

maybe i'm in the wrong here, maybe we should just leave them alone. I just don't even know

    to me, FOSS is the perfect analogy for cooperation and individualism. you can use and make your software how you like and collaborate and work with other individuals to improve your workflow for everyone, while admitting and appreciating that no two people have the same needs and likes, and we can accomodate for that.
