the cost
The reason people use planes typically is its cheaper or roughly the same price when compared to driving - especially if you do t have the efficiency of being able to travel with multiple people.
the chance of getting sick because of the recycled air
Do you have anything to back this up? My understanding, during covid, air plane travel was relatively safe in comparison to other enclosed spaces due to the air filtering equipment.
I got banned from a subreddit for being to aggressive when calling out people who were justifying and calling for fire bombing of churches.
I'm pretty sure that was also used against me when I got banned from the whole platform but I'll never know for sure.
The current right wing talking point is its not fraud because it wasn't successful lol. Even if it was successful, it still wasn't fraud because trump believed the election was stolen from him. Oh and state legislator can pick any electors they want at anytime.
It's ridiculous
Those people will get banned if they are in a subreddit where people will report it. It's pretty easy to get banned from reddit if you don't follow certain social conventions and beliefs.
Anything that broke the "echochamber" is what got downvoted but this was never strictly about downvoting it was about moderation so im not sure why you shifted the focus to downvotes. We know you're trying to essentially say the people who got downvoted or moderated deserved it because they said things so "bad" they deserved to be moderated. I'm not sure that's always true or even mostly true.
You're right that free speech typically means the ability to speak freely without government intervention but I think you're being obtuse if you don't see how those implications could be limited by corporations online and if you're comfortable with censorship online not being democratically decided upon that's cool but I don't trust the corporations as much as you do i guess.
You need free speech to ensure teachers don't get fired for teaching science. I'd be care about removing that ability from other roles and people just because you disagree with the premise.
In that sense, at least they are transparent a put being authoritarian. There are too many "populist left" spaces where those things aren't spelled out and you'll be banned for a vague rule that could be anything and everything. I despise when they don't give transparency to their rules and how they enforce them. It's generally bad too imo. That being said, mods have a hard fucking job admittedly and they aren't paid.
Are you in favor of firing teachers who day things that go against common popular teachings in an area?
Your mocking of this situation makes me feel you'd be in favor of laws that fire teachers for teaching evolution for example.
Thats not a very good argument at all. You're literally stating "well since majority agrees with it, it must mean somethings wrong with you." How could possibly think this is healthy or good way to engage with ideas different than the "mainstream"?
Is this the first time the "mainstram" is right?
I wasn't trolling at all. I'm not sure how that could be your take away with the information I gave. I guess you're in favor of moderation that limits discussion and opposing viewpoints. Most authoritarian are though so I can't be suprised.
Arguing with a mod isn't trolling. Disagreeing with a mods decisions isn't spam or harassment. I guess you've found a great way to control speech you don't like though. Anytime someone says something you dislike call it trolling, spam and harrassment and oila, you can effectively control every message board in existence.
Are you saying this is the same level as the holocaust? That was a systemic murdering for the purposes of eliminating jews from the planet. This at its worse, as it currently stands, is an ethnic cleansing. I'm interested in what you would argue makes this genocidal over ethnic cleansing?
How far of a distance was it? I'm trying to plan a trip right now and if I drive by myself the plane is easily cheaper. If I go with a group of people then driving is obviously cheaper.
