>Just like people who don't want Trump to be their president should move to Canada, right?
The US is, at least nominally, a democracy, whereas all websites are essentially dictatorships. It's not even remotely the same.
>Run from the problem instead of trying to fix it... always a good choice.
I'm not suggesting running from anything, try to fix it if you like. You won't succeed, because most people don't consider it broken. Hacker News has a culture which doesn't consider free speech a priority, that's just the way it is.
>which makes your willingness to let corporations trample on your civil rights even more unsettling.
No... Hacker News' moderation is not an example of a corporation trampling on anyone's civil rights. If that's what you meant.
It seems you're primarily interested in steering this subthread into an uninteresting political tangent, so I'll leave you alone with whatever point it is you're trying to make.
Just like people who don't want Trump to be their president should move to Canada, right?
Run from the problem instead of trying to fix it... always a good choice.
