Poll question: Do we want source based censorship in this sub? Discussion opener: I recently submitted a link that was removed by a mod for : >> We're Liberals >> >> There are plenty of places on the internet to post conservative- and right-leaning pro-gun links. This is explicitly not one of them. Please try to stay left-of-center and/or neutral in post themes. >Removed. We're not going to give this right-wing blog traffic. Now I saw nothing overtly "illiberal" about that site, unless the authors opening statement "Now as a conservative and happy gun owner" is enough to qualify, but then I use an ad-blocker and tend to not peruse other parts of a site when I see a discussion that matches my interests, pro or con, so long as it is rational. Having relevant links to other information is a plus, and was the point of this particular article. I saw no bashing of non-conservatives, or support of conservative positions not applicable to the narrow topic of guns. If I had I would not have submitted it. Of course this is a subjective judgement. Now if a link itself is explicitly insulting or demeaning to left of center views there may be some justification for a viewpoint based sub (such as this one) to want to avoid a particular link. I do not believe that is the case with this link. Here is an indirect archive link (attempting to keep that mod happy) if you care to judge for yourself: https://archive.is/2zfYX If this sub is to start censoring links to pro-gun articles simply based on whether that site is perceived as "illiberal" it will become a very barren place, little more than an echo chamber. Indeed, source-based censorship itself seems to be a very "illiberal" policy.
