If I started sending satanic images, then yeah ban me. Or if I was being a dick yeah ban me. But that's a false equivalence if you ban me for "no reason"

*cough* 24/7 *cough*

Having rules is a form of censorship

You not allowing me to be rude is basically still censorship

Not a violation of free speech

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS It is. my right to ban you for whatever reason I see fit. You guys said so.

I elaborated on my point above

Yes, @The Gwench but you have to have a rule against it first

And you can make rules as you see fit

Also rules aren't censorship, if I break my tenancy agreement I'm not being censored. If I break the law I'm not getting censored

@Satan No I don’t. It’s my server...and if I don’t want certain content on my server...I don’t have to.

@Satan the thing is everyone agrees on mainsteam social media rules

Prohibiting someone from doing something is censorship

That's literally what it is

When you make a YT account you agree not to incite anything or break the rules

That's not my point nat

I'm being censored from robbing this bank? Or am I missing it more?

I'm not saying yt banning someone because they did something against the rules is wrong

@Satan Huh? No it isn’t. @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS and @xXPuppyLoverXx convinced me of that.

But rules itself are a censorship since you're prohibiting someone from doing something

I mean what happens with no rules? you seem to be against the concept of rules

@Satan I suggest talking to @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS and @xXPuppyLoverXx. They’re the ones working against you.

...

I'm genuinely not getting your point

You don't get my point
I'm not against rules or banning someone because they don't agree with rules I'm just saying that it is a form of censorship so don't say it isn't

Prohibiting someone from doing something is literally what censorship is

The definition is a bit more complex than that

It’s about actively suppressing someone or something, not just removing it from a website

What's the definition then

Removing something from a website *is* actively surpressing them

And again it's within your right to censor

You’re not preventing them from saying it overall though

But you are suppressing them from a platform and rightfully so

They are still allowed to say whatever it is they said, you haven’t suppressed their ability to communicate with other people about it because there is always another site to use

Yeah but they are being censored from that certain platform

That’s right @Satan We would not be preventing you from saying whatever you want...just not in this server.

If there was only one website on the internet you’d have more of an argument but there isn’t

Okay Alex Jones for example, he's not allowed on Apple anymore but he isn't being arrested he's still doing his thing and doing his free speech.

He's being deplatformed but he can still say what he likes on his own website.

It would only be a freedom of speech problem if they arrested him

Being deplatformed is censorship

Yeah and being censored is not a freedoms of rights violation
