censorship on r/btc

rbtc-censorship.md

r/btc markets itself as a "censorship-free" sub. In reality it attempts to silence the voices of people it disagrees with.

r/btc moderators will often say that "rate-limiting and downvotes are not censorship". The reader can decide for themselves. Suppose you want to discuss bitcoin with others but your own posts are limited to once every 10 minutes, while the other side can post as often as they want. That doesn't seem like an equal debate to me.

Time to get serious here. Any forum that bans people for "excessive profanity" is a joke.

Wow, they just ban anyone who says something they don't like.
