alt Hacker Newswhich 'wing' cheered loudly when every platform openly suppressed their political opponents during the last decade, and frothed in impotent rage when one of those platforms unexpectedly changed hands and ceased the censorship?
somehow, censorship is only bad when the wrong side does it. when the correct side does it, it's justified and necessary for your democracies to survive.

I think it's questionable whether the censorship has ceased. It's just done less transparently and blamed on "the algorithm". There's an article about it now on the front page of HN.
Not disagreeing with the need of a reminder that there was censorship from the left though.

I don't know. Which wing, and what's an example of the suppression they did openly?
I sometimes wonder how serious these sorts of sentiments are. Like, when you claim something easily disproven and openly partisan, do you know that and do it anyway, or is your internal dialog one of righteous outrage?
