Then allow me to comment on this repo and display those comments prominently. Because if I’m not allowed to add whatever opinion I want to the readme, I am being horribly oppressed.
I'm literally just saying that some people like to be able to say what they are allowed to, that this could be a tool to do so, and that that is OK. That was a direct response to the phrase "people still think unrestricted user content could somehow be a good idea", which implies that free speech is NEVER a good idea. I disagree with that.
Perhaps you read it as “allowing unrestricted comments on a web page _or anywhere else_ is a bad idea”
But that second one has never been the case. People have alway been able to post responses on their own sites with links to the original. Many places like reddit are primarily that.
I think others maybe confusing the right to free speech with a right to vandalize.
If there's links to illegal stuff there, then something needs to be done about the actual site hosting the illegal stuff.
