    Have to make an example to keep the npcs in line.

    The entire point of this is promoting self censorship in us, the ordinary people. We should be afraid to say what we think if its not politically correct.

    It works too. Even Lemmy has plenty of people supporting censorship of opinions.

      Especially, if ygu have the “wrong” opinion on a major conflict or what does and does not count as genocide.

        That’s not censorship, that’s just being called out for having a, to the other user, bad opinion.

          Its censorship if its being moderated away or threads are being locked, or if people are being banned for being “trolls”. There are many forms of censorship.
