I think you are misguided. Given your level of experience, you are not in a position to spew hot takes on software architecture.

There is something else underneath this. Did you try to use linux or something?

General advice when it comes to software is to just start. There are always different paths, depending on what type of programmer you are. My opiniom: choose simple, not easy.

Sounds an awful lot like groupthink to me. Having differentiating takes is the point of philosophy.

In a sort of snarky way one might even say that studying it defeats the purpose, because of pollution and all that.

Sure. Although ‘tolerance’ here needs stricter defition. I would argue that the proponents of censorship are few. The victim is discourse itself, and by extent, regular imperfect people.

Absolutely. Except that the world is more complex, and there is no right answer.

The issue is not that people choose to distance themselves from the conversation.

The issue is that a powerful select few control what you do or do not hear.

Ever think about where these people come from? Isolation.

The mass censorship strategies of today only serves to divide the extremes. It fosters friction.

In my view, a sane (sanest?) policy would be to use the law as a framework of what is acceptable.

Getting billionares to silence people we do not like is not virtuous, whether it be media smear canpaigns or deplatforming.

We should care about free speech on our platforms. It is the cornerstone of civilization.
