There’s censorship happening right now in the aliens subreddit. High-karma users are being silenced for expressing opinions that differ from the dominant view. Check my profile for evidence.
This occurred while I was in the middle of a conversation with another user in a thread. I simply questioned the credibility of paid announcements like the NewsNation release.
As a fellow human who frequently participates in discussions in these subs, I urge you not to let anyone silence you!
We live in a free nation, and freedom of speech is a vital aspect of that. Censorship is never acceptable—except when it comes to dealing with bots, but that’s a different issue.
It’s frustrating to see censorship happening, especially in communities that should be open to diverse viewpoints. Engaging in healthy discussions and questioning information is crucial, especially in a field as mysterious and speculative as the topic of aliens. It’s important for us to be able to express differing opinions without fear of being silenced.
While it’s essential to have guidelines against misinformation and bots, we shouldn’t throw out the principle of free speech in the process. Conversations thrive on a variety of perspectives, and it’s vital that users feel safe to share their thoughts, even when they challenge the norm. Let’s keep advocating for open dialogue and ensuring all voices are heard!
