The fact you can't tell anyone to go f themselves online anymore without getting banned is absurd and sad (lemmings.world)

YouTube? Deleted comment. Twitter? Banned, Reddit? Shadow banned and blocked Xbox live? You get kicked out online mode despite you are PAYING for it. You can't express your anger or hate towards other people without some kind of freedom.

No I'm not saying that RACISM or serious accusations should be allowed, but a simple "fuck u" gets you eliminated. Is depressing.

Language is contextual, hanging out with your buddies, telling them the fuck off is perfectly fine. They can lean on your shared history, your colocated activities, and the relationship is stronger than just the language.

Online, everyone is a stranger, so the hostility in the communication is the entirety of the context. Moderators, famously, don't want hostile places that people don't want to be in. Allowing open hostility, just encourages drive by hate and brigading. Not a constructive dialogue, which is what most of us are actually here for. Human interaction.

So- fuck you, go to 4chan if you want to yell at people, and externalize your self hate.
