Multiple people have been subjected to what's really just a removal of freedom of speech. I understand the whole "It's my company, I'll do what I want" but even you must admit that it's ignorant at best to say that just about every slice of the public facing internet isn't owned by a company that'll apply their own authoritarian law to whichever platform it may be.

I'm just advocating for transparency, and better moderation. Here's some threads in which I got banned for.

Dumber- for sure- but complacency is the big issue. Why are we allowing the average age of our politicians to rise when we see a direct correlation between old age and a general lacking of all forms of intelligence?

It's my belief that they're farming a brainrotted generation to keep people stupid and complacent. What you don't know can't hurt you, and if the new generation is told that their situation is fine enough through lies and manipulation tactics- sooner or later they're gonna buy into it; just being subservient minimum wage slaves.

Welcome to the end of the world, folks.

How do we enact change? (anti-complacency)

It seems everyone collectively buries their head in games, social media that suppresses freedom of speech, and food. We continue to watch nations crumble and wars rage with a collective inaction- why?

How do we enact change in the 21st century? I feel like everyone has turned into a side-quest NPC who sorta watches the world around them thinking that they have 0 impact on any of the outcomes associated with life; how do we change that?

So, I hope you're unaware of the rampant abuse of the moderation team that's actively silencing data-driven freedom of speech, and don't wish to be complicit in it. I've used Valve products for years, and thoroughly enjoy using Steam, playing games like Half-Life, Portal, etcetera, and can honestly say my only gripe is with the overmoderation of the discussion forums by both Valve employees and developer directed moderators.

I look forward to hearing back from you,
