I got banned from Reddit for stating that “all murderers should be executed,” which is literally a policy position. I think online free speech is not long for this world which will leave the voting booth the only remaining anonymous forum. I expect many more “how the %%*$& did THEY win?!” elections.
Every modern attempt at starting competing services to major online forums has met with:
-A firestorm of slander from media outlets controlled by competitors.
-Cartel-style harassment and denial of basic services required to run the site, hosting, financial, etc, again, by competitors.
Competition is not a solution when the game is rigged. People literally are "stopping you," and they are some very powerful, influential people at that.
