This is the first example of what I describe that I have come across on LF. It is by no means widespread and I do not claim or suggest this.

Content on Hive is censor-resistant and immutable but frontends and communities can filter stuff. In this case, there was a series of downvotes. This is not exactly 'censorship' IMO, but it can have similar effects.

That's how far it should go.

Agree, downvotes are a personal matter.

Being pro free speech is not easy. I hate seeing anti-vaxxing posts and covid denying but I don't down-vote. Why? Because they're entitled to their opinion no matter how stupid it is.

Agree it's not easy being 'tolerant' when one's sensitivities have been triggered. LOL at the type of posts you don't like seeing - you see, I'm someone who has serious doubts about those issues you mention and would therefore be 'on the other side' of such issues from you :). Like you, I consider folk entitled to act in accordance with what they see fit and how they research and interpret 'reality'. It is multi-faceted and not easy to accommodate or tolerate, let alone expose oneself to, the full spectrum.
