BTW, the point I'm making here is that it's not enjoyable to participate on a forum (such as this one in this example) if moderation appears to be selective and biased. I thought Twitter was a messaging service (a social media network).  But it is just another forum whose rules and enforcement are capriciously enforced based on the personal opinions of the moderators.   

Hopefully I've made my point. 

The problem here is what is opinion and what is fact and who is going to decide between them?

Yes...that's the issue [now] with Twitter.  Wait until vested interests/owners find that one bias hits their hip pocket more than another and their 'bottom line' determines their policies.

Forums such as Joe User aren't moderated by bias, but just for spam.  I do admit to getting squeamish being in the same space as anti-vaxers and flat-earthers, but each to his own.  Stardock's rules re racial discrimination etc still apply.

That was my point.

On Twitter, apparently the moderators are going to decide what is opinion and what is fact.  Just like HERE, our moderators are the ones who do that.  And if you don't agree with the moderators, then suddenly it's a lot less fun isn't it? Just like Twitter has become a lot less fun for me.

The better solution is to not have me or anyone in that position and avoid political debates because, as I said earlier, I don't care what people's political views are. I'm not here for that.  I'm here to discuss tech, customization and games.

I only have one political opinion... that voting should not be compulsory.... like it is here in Australia.  I just don't like being responsible [in part] for the arseholes who get elected, break election promises and generally stuff everything up.

Anti-vaxxers you may bump into now and then, but flat-earthers you're not likely to....they all walked off the edge of the planet while trying to prove their theory.
