Comment on Ask HN: What's with the culture of suppression of dissenting views?parent

Comments

Feelings are free expressions, you can’t have freedom of speech without letting people express their reactions to your expressions, and you considering others is baseline pro social behavior.

Self censorship is a fantastic thing, a critical behavior in a cooperative group, and necessary for free speech.

Unthinkingly seeing “censorship” and reacting with “That’s bad!” isn’t helpful.
