>If you aren't referring ... deplatforming

You are misrepresenting me. I said I didn't criticize their deplatforming, not that I am not commenting on deplatforming.

My point, since we seem to be intentionally missing it to instead construct strawmans (prions comment) or throw around accusations of bad faith (your comment), is that there is a danger in turning deplatforming into a weapon that criminals can use against people who are unable to afford to hire teams of effective moderators.



(Attempt 2)

>I said I didn't criticize their deplatforming

Saying that something is at risk of being weaponized is pretty close to criticism imo.


When and if that actually happens, we will have to figure out some way to deal with that problem.


>I am not commenting on deplatforming.

>there is a danger in turning deplatforming into a weapon

Seems like a comment to me.


>I am not commenting on deplatforming.

That is not what I said. Selecting a subset of my words in order to change their meaning is not intellectually honest.


You're totally right, 100% bad reading on my part. Sorry. I'll reply again with a fresh comment.
