Which is why I don't trust Wikipedia and don't use Reddit anymore.

Nope.  That hasn't been the case for a LONG time now.

i.e. you committed wrong-think and wrong-speak and must be removed for the good
of mankind.

Yup.  That's why I dropped out of most of those systems.  I keep a few around
for specific topics (i.e. non-political).

I don't buy from Amazon much anymore - because I can no longer write a review
after I (accurately) described 2 books on BBSs as 'woke nonesence'.

One person can't do much.  But drive enough people off and the Left will eat
itself and kill the platform.  Is that Woke Twitter thing still out there? Blue
something.
