    I’ve had 4 posts deleted since joining. One was for causing offence. I asked “Are Brits the Americans of Europe”. “Dumb, loud and obnoxious”. I’m British, I was obviously being tongue in cheek. But I hadn’t realised just how fucking sensitive the Internet became in the past decade.

    Also they were heavily down-voted so why do they need deleting? Downvotes were always meant to be user moderation, not disagreement. But now everyone runs to the mods to delete EVERY little fucking thing.

    removed (food) and fag (cigarette) get you censored and banned on numerous communities even though it’s an American slur and not relevant in every country.

      People under 30 have been put through so much and have been allowed no power or say in anything. Unfortunately, when they do have some power, instead of wielding it discretely and with restraint, they go hog-wild and become a totalitarian shitbrat.

      We’re all fucked, bro.
