    Conservatives don’t mind being blatantly hypocritical, though. They’d support it with some rationalization. Just look at their subs on reddit, for example… constant whining about being ‘censored’ when they’re downvoted on other subs, but their subs would be ‘flaired users only’ and when people dared to disagree with whatever BS in other posts, very swiftly permanently banned.

      It’s especially disingenuous because removing a post by definition isn’t censorship, but one could argue that only allowing comments by flaired users is much closer to it.

        Right, it’s pre-censorship. Also the definition of an echo chamber. “Only people who are verified as agreeing may reply”
