I'm just interested in avoiding censorship. I wasn't subscribed, but over 150k other redditors were. I'm not going to lie though, I'm not on here just for r/animaladvice. When you start allowing censorship you have no control over where it ends. I hope you understand this principle one day.

"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me."

LOL at you comparing this to the fucking Holocaust.

I hope you understand this principle one day.

One day I hope you reach the age of adulthood and can join the rest of us in normal society, free from ridiculous hyperbole and doomsday predicting.

Oh, who am I kidding. You probably are, legally, an adult -- even if you never reached that status mentally.

I understand the principle. But this is a private website. If you don't like it, there are so many other websites out there. I hate bullying and discrimination much more than I hate censorship, so I've made the choice to stay. You can make a choice as well.
