    How would that place them in blue and not just yellow?

    I dont think you get more freedom of speech when becoming more authoritarian

      The heckler’s veto is not freedom.

      There are a lot of groups which coordinate spreading of lies to shout down others and deter others from contributing, firehose of falsehood style, and allowing that does not contribute to free speech. It does not support sharing facts, it doesn’t support healthy conversation, it doesn’t help anybody learn or discover the truth. Allowing conspiracy theories and nonsense like that is a net negative.

      You need moderators who are focused on making sure people feel free to join in good faith.

      To be clear, I meant the blue of this compass, even though in many parts of the world it may differ, like in the USA red = maga while blue = liberal, but in the color scheme of this graphic those are reversed.

      As for whether it would shift things more towards the yellow, I didn’t even really consider that option: LW was just already split between red and blue and I was saying that it would shift more towards the authoritarian side, as in conservatives would then be allowed to spout their talking points whereas right now most conservative opinions are silenced (bc the vast majority of us are simply tired of hearing them spouted not in a good faith manner). But yeah I suppose it would also shift it in the libertarian axis as well.
