What gets me isn’t always bans. It’s shadow banning. You post something, and suddenly it reaches like 5 people. No warning, no explanation. You just get quietly buried. That feels worse than an outright suspension, it's stupid that these companies are allowed to silence your voice and then they don't even have to tell you about it. So stupid.
The deeper issue is that platforms act as arbiters of truth. They’re private companies, yet they influence global discourse. If an idea is flawed, counter it publicly. Don’t erase it. Suppression breeds distrust.
