If everyone is “censoring” you, then there must be a good reason why they prefer to distance themselves.
Of all those listed, you must be an especially toxic brand to be kicked from GoDaddy.
The original response:
Of course not. I'm just pointing to the flaw in this argument: if everybody ban you, then you are the problem. Sometimes there are other reasons for that than you, and I provided with an example.

However, now you said it, authoritarian states work differently. They don't tell every company what they should do. Each private company already knows what it should do, otherwise they will have certain consequences like change of ownership.
But again, putting the equal sign between PRC and the US is wrong at the moment.
Is that really a thing on HN? Seems pretty unfair to block someone because of an unpopular view, isn't flagging used for that when a comment breaches the guidelines?

Hamster news is not a safe space for wrongthink.
The mobs are not always in the right, no matter how large a majority they have.
Everyone in power at the time "censored "Giordano Bruno. He must have been hella toxic, according to you.
The story is about a billion times more complicated than "the church burned him to hide the truth about science". He was, indeed, a heretic, as the Church defined it, and "science" had little to nothing to do with it.
That does not, of course, justify any of what happened to Bruno. But the oft-repeated story of "Giordano Bruno died so that I could have an all-purpose martyr for anything I want to disagree with" is false. It's worth reading a biography, or at least the Wikipedia page:

Or it could just be an any reason.
GoDaddy really stepped over a line here and to this point has nothing to say for itself.
